The command "python -m tarfile -c test.tar.bz2 test/" should create a file that is compressed by bzip2,
but actually the detection of compression algorithm that should be used is broken (for gz, xz, bz2).

fix it by prepending a dot to the keys of the dictionary

Thank you for your patch. Could you provide tests?
msg235608 - (view) Author: Chiu-Hsiang Hsu (wdv4758h) * Date: 2015-02-09 13:28
yes

just wanna know is there a standard way to get file type by libmagic ?
msg235609 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-02-09 14:06
No need to use libmagic. tarfile.TarFile.gzopen() should fail if the file is not gzipped tar file. There CLI tests in Lib/test/test_tarfile.py. New test should create tar file with file name that ends with the '.gz' extension and check that it can be open and read with gzopen().

Here is the tests.

In general LGTM, but I have added few nitpicks on Rietveld.

Attached factored patch for tests.

It looks much better. :)
