[New-bugs-announce] [issue21549] Add the members parameter for TarFile.list()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

The proposed patch adds the members parameter for TarFile.list() with the same meaning as in TarFile.extractall(). This is needed for implementing the tar command utility which allows filtering and transforming an output (e.g. output numerical ids instead names for owner/group).

An alternative approach is to add the filter parameter (as in TarFile.add()) to both TarFile.list() and TarFile.extractall().
