[New-bugs-announce] [issue11014] 'filter' argument for Tarfile.add needs to be a keyword-only argument

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net>:

In 3.2, tarfile.Tarfile added a 'filter' argument while deprecating the 'exclude' argument that precedes it positionally.

The 'filter' argument needs to be keyword-only argument, or any code that uses it positionally will fail when the 'exclude' argument is ultimately removed.
