[issue17929] TypeError using tarfile.addfile() with io.StringIO replacing StringIO.StringIO()

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Basic questions like this aren't really suitable for the tracker, you should use other forums such as the python-list mailing list or the #python irc channel.

In Python3, bytes and strings are different classes, but in Python2 they are not.  You need to be working with BytesIO.
