[New-bugs-announce] [issue20243] ReadError when open a tarfile for writing

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

ReadError can be raised when open a tarfile in write mode (e.g. 'w:gz'). Here is a patch wish a test. In additional it rewrites the handling errors in gzopen() which is too complicated now. This complication is possible the cause of bugs #11513 and #20238.
