[New-bugs-announce] [issue18281] tarfile defines stat constants

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

The tarfile module defines a bunch of stat constants:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/4465f273a8a4/Lib/tarfile.py#l142

These constants aren't documented but they look like public API constants. I would like to replace them with values from the stat module:

TUREAD = stat.S_IRUSR
