With python 3.4, Tarfile doesn't properly support adding a files with bytes path. Only unicode is supported. It's failing with exception similar to:

    tar.add(os.path.join(dirpath, filename), filename)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/tarfile.py", line 1907, in add
    tarinfo = self.gettarinfo(name, arcname)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/tarfile.py", line 1767, in gettarinfo
    arcname = arcname.replace(os.sep, "/")
TypeError: expected bytes, bytearray or buffer compatible object

It uses os.sep, and u"/". Instead, it should use something like posixpath.py:_get_sep(path).
