[issue8396] tarfile.open does fails with UnicodeDecodeError if parent dir is unicode

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

It looks like tarfile doesn't support unicode filenames. You should try to encode your input filename to the file system default encoding (sys.getfilesystemencoding()), or avoid using unicode for tar filenames.
