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

ABCMeta should be replaced by abc.ABCMeta, or other "abc." prefixes should be removed.

class Temperature(metaclass=ABCMeta):
    @abc.abstractclassmethod
    def from_fahrenheit(self, t):
        ...
    @abc.abstractclassmethod
    def from_celsius(self, t):
        ...

I don't know/understand the "->" syntax:

>>> print(byte_stream.getvalue())
b'G3805  showroom   Main chassis    ' ->
b'X7899  warehouse  Reserve cog     ' ->
b'L6988  receiving  Primary sprocket'

If you would like to split record by record, use something like:

>>> x=byte_stream.getvalue()
>>> [x[index:index+REC_LEN] for index in range(0,len(x),REC_LEN)]
[b'G3805  showroom   Main chassis    ', b'X7899  warehouse  Reserve cog     ', b'L6988  receiving  Primary sprocket']

>>> import shutil, pprint
...
>>> f = make_archive(...)

It's shutil.make_archive(), not make_archive() here.

>>> shutil.register_archive_format(                  # register a new archive format
        name = 'xz',
        function = 'xz.compress',
        extra_args = [('level', 8)],
        description = 'xz compression'
)

The function have to be callable: a str is not callable.
