[New-bugs-announce] [issue10261] tarfile iterator without members caching

[Karsten Wolf]

New submission from Karsten Wolf <karstenwo at web.de>:

It would be helpful to have a tarfile iterator that does not cache every archive member encountered.

This makes it nearly impossible to iterate over an archive with millions of files.
