I proposed a workaround, the real bug is that os.path.abspath() doesn't support
unicode... And this bug was already fixed 7 weeks ago by r78247 (issue #3426).

It looks like tarfile doesn't support unicode filenames. You should try to
encode your input filename to the file system default encoding
(sys.getfilesystemencoding()), or avoid using unicode for tar filenames.

New submission from Parth Malwankar :
If any directory higher up in the hierarchy contains unicode chars,
tarfile.open fails with UnicodeDecodeError. Attached script reproduces this
error.
