tarfile.open() does support optionally an compression method on the mode argument in the form of 'filemode[:compression]' but tarfile.TarFile() does only suport 'a', 'r' and 'w'. Is there a special reason that tarfile.TarFile() doesn't directly support an optional compression method? Otherwise it would be nice if they could be used directly on tarfile.TarFile() too. |

That was a design decision. What would be the advantage of having the TarFile class offer the compression itself? |

The TarFile class provides more options. Alternatively a file object could be used but this means additional code (and maybe IO overhead). |

You can pass keyword arguments to tarfile.open(), which will be passed to the TarFile constructor. You can also use pass fileobj arguments to tarfile.open(). |

Interesting, after reading the documentation again I would now assume that is what **kwargs is for. |
