[issue6254] tarfile unnecessarily requires seekable files

[Lars Gustäbel]

Lars Gustäbel <lars at gustaebel.de> added the comment:

It is no documentation bug either: tarfile.open() is prominently
featured right on the top of the first page of the tarfile module online
documentation. tarfile.Tarfile() follows right after it with a short
notice that tarfile.open() should better be used instead.
