According to https://bugs.python.org/issue30661#msg339300 , "format" argument of Tarfile.open() only concerns the writing of files. It's worth mentioning it in the doc, if it's True (confirmation from core maintainers is welcome).

My bad, this was a wrongly targeted PR, the real one is here: #14389

Looking at tarfile.py, "format" seems only used in addfile() indeed.
