[New-bugs-announce] [issue37144] tarfile.open: improper handling of path-like object

[DM]

New submission from DM <darkamaul at hotmail.fr>:

According to the documentation, tarfile.open accepts a path-like object since Python 3.6

However, it is not the case when writing a compressed gzip (w|gz).
See the attached file for minimal POC

Note 1: tested on 3.6 and 3.7
Note 2: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/tarfile.html#tarfile.open
