When using tarfile.open(mode='w|gz'), the compression level is hard-coded to 9. Seed _Stream._init_write_gz():
    self.zlib.compressobj(9,

1. In regards to zlib, I would start by replacing the value of 9 by zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the default value and zipfile is using it. Why using something different.

2. Then, I would also love to control the compression level when calling tarfile.open()
