Fall back to 'ascii' encoding if sys.getfilesystemencoding() returns
None. Remove encoding and errors argument from pax create methods in TarInfo, pax always uses UTF-8. Adapt the documentation and tests to the new string/unicode concept.

The tar format was originally conceived to make backups on tape drives with the
|
||||
main focus on preserving file system information. Nowadays tar archives are
|
||||
commonly used for file distribution and exchanging archives over networks. One
|
||||
problem of the original format (that all other formats are merely variants of)
|
||||
is that there is no concept of supporting different character encodings. For
|
||||
problem of the original format (which is the basis of all other formats) is
|
||||
that there is no concept of supporting different character encodings. For
|
||||
example, an ordinary tar archive created on a *UTF-8* system cannot be read
|
||||
correctly on a *Latin-1* system if it contains non-ASCII characters. Names (i.e.
|
||||
filenames, linknames, user/group names) containing these characters will appear
|
||||
damaged. Unfortunately, there is no way to autodetect the encoding of an
|
||||
archive.

correctly on a *Latin-1* system if it contains non-*ASCII* characters. Textual
|
||||
metadata (like filenames, linknames, user/group names) will appear damaged.
|
||||
Unfortunately, there is no way to autodetect the encoding of an archive. The
|

pax format was designed to solve this problem. It stores non-ASCII metadata
|
||||
using the universal character encoding *UTF-8*.
|
||||
|
||||
The pax format was designed to solve this problem. It stores non-ASCII names
|
||||
using the universal character encoding *UTF-8*. When a pax archive is read,
|
||||
these *UTF-8* names are converted to the encoding of the local file system.
|
||||
The details of character conversion in :mod:`tarfile` are controlled by the
|
||||
*encoding* and *errors* keyword arguments of the :class:`TarFile` class.
|
||||
|
||||
The details of unicode conversion are controlled by the *encoding* and *errors*
|
||||
keyword arguments of the :class:`TarFile` class.
|
||||
|
||||
The default value for *encoding* is the local character encoding. It is deduced
|
||||
from :func:`sys.getfilesystemencoding` and :func:`sys.getdefaultencoding`. In
|
||||
read mode, *encoding* is used exclusively to convert unicode names from a pax
|
||||
archive to strings in the local character encoding. In write mode, the use of
|
||||
*encoding* depends on the chosen archive format. In case of :const:`PAX_FORMAT`,
|
||||
input names that contain non-ASCII characters need to be decoded before being
|
||||
stored as *UTF-8* strings. The other formats do not make use of *encoding*
|
||||
unless unicode objects are used as input names. These are converted to 8-bit
|
||||
character strings before they are added to the archive.
|
||||
*encoding* defines the character encoding to use for the metadata in the
|
||||
archive. The default value is :func:`sys.getfilesystemencoding` or ``'ascii'``
|
||||
as a fallback. Depending on whether the archive is read or written, the
|
||||
metadata must be either decoded or encoded. If *encoding* is not set
|
||||
appropriately, this conversion may fail.
|
||||
|
||||
The *errors* argument defines how characters are treated that cannot be
|
||||
converted to or from *encoding*. Possible values are listed in section
|
||||
:ref:`codec-base-classes`. In read mode, there is an additional scheme
|
||||
``'utf-8'`` which means that bad characters are replaced by their *UTF-8*
|
||||
representation. This is the default scheme. In write mode the default value for
|
||||
*errors* is ``'strict'`` to ensure that name information is not altered

||||
unnoticed.
|
||||
converted. Possible values are listed in section :ref:`codec-base-classes`. In
|

read mode the default scheme is ``'replace'``. This avoids unexpected
|
||||
:exc:`UnicodeError` exceptions and guarantees that an archive can always be
|
||||
read. In write mode the default value for *errors* is ``'strict'``. This
|
||||
ensures that name information is not altered unnoticed.
|
||||
|
||||
In case of writing :const:`PAX_FORMAT` archives, *encoding* is ignored because
|
||||
non-ASCII metadata is stored using *UTF-8*.
