tarfile and end-of-tape

[Josh Smith]

In Python 2.3  there is a new library for handling tarfiles.  However, there
doesn't seem to be any documentation on handling end-of-tape conditions.  I've
googled for it and checked the docs, I've even looked into the modules
src and all I found was an end of file exception that might do what
I'm looking for, but might not.     

Anyone have any pointers/help?

TIA
