At least that doesn't seem to be the case. I simulated that condition,
and here is the result.

 >>> import tarfile
>>> tarfile.open('/root/test.tar.gz', 'r:*')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1139, in open
    return func(name, "r", fileobj)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1200, in gzopen
    fileobj = file(name, mode + "b")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/test.tar.gz'

So that raises a different error not ReadError.
