[New-bugs-announce] [issue6282] In tarfile, compression level cannot be specified

[Omri Shaked]

New submission from Omri Shaked <omri.shaked at gmail.com>:

When creating a TarFile object that uses compression, the compressor is
always created using its default compression level.

import bz2
self.cmp = bz2.BZ2Compressor()

You can't specify the compression level (i.e. self.cmp =
bz2.BZ2Compressor(1)).
