The changes at <https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10714/files/11ca0f0> have various other behaviour changes which are not discussed here. They seem to be there just so that you can use the TCP socket from “urlopen” with “gettarinfo”. But “gettarinfo” is supposed to be for named filesystem objects that could be members of a tar file. See Issue 22208 discussing how to create TarInfo objects without using the OS filesystem.
