Summary: testtar.tar is partially insane
Initial Comment:
The test file testtar.tar is a binary file, but contains
(seemingly by accident) CVS keywords, like $Date$ and
$Revision$. As a result, if Python is checked out with -
kk (don't expand keywords), test_tarfile fails. I'm not
clear on exactly why.
Binary files shouldn't have CVS keywords inside them,
and tests shouldn't care whether keywords are
expanded anyway.

When I created testtar.tar I used a copy of pep-0000.txt as
dummy data, and that has CVS keywords in it. The problem is,
that -kk substitutes the keywords, although testtar.tar was
checked in with -kb. I blame CVS's rotten handling of binary
files for that one.
I opened a patch #995225 with a new testtar.tar that has no
keywords.
