New submission from Karsten Wolf :
In the current Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2 archive ./Lib/plat-mac/findertools.py in
function comment on line 131 the call to FSNewAliasMinimal is misstyped.
current version:
object_alias = object.FSNewAliasMonimal()
corrected version
object_alias
New submission from Karsten Wolf :
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.

Karsten Wolf added the comment:
Yes, I'm on 2.6. I checked the Python 3.x tarfile just for this one line in
TarFile.next():
self.members.append(tarinfo)
to conclude it would have the same problem.
Reducing 2.5gb memory usage as measured in my particular case by 60%, still
leaves 1.5g
