[issue24514] tarfile fails to extract archive (handled fine by gnu tar and bsdtar)

[Philippe]

Philippe added the comment:

I verified that the patch  issue24514.diff (adding .rstrip() ) works also on Python 2.7. I verified it also works on Python 3.4

I ran it on 2.7 against a fairly large test suite of tar files without problems.

This is a +1 for me.

Lars: Do you think you could apply it to 2.7 too?
