Hi,

I'm sorry Wes, but I don't understand your long list of urls :-( Can

I'm asking if there is a reason for allowing absolute paths by

I think secure by default would be good here.

I didn't write a private email to security@ because as you pointed,
the issue is known and *documented* in Python since 10 years.

Doesn't mean it's not broken

I wrote this doc :-) I just added notes about tarfile and zipfile.

The [ ] wiki links could also be useful
