Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

The tarfile module doesn't currently allow for Linux extended attributes (xattrs) to be preserved when converting to/from tar archives. GNU tar has a handful of options (--xattrs, --xattrs-include, etc.) related to xattr support. It would be useful to add similar options for enabling xattr support for the tarfile module.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
