Using fileobj=sys.stdin.buffer instead should do the trick. The “tarfile” module would expect a binary stream, not a text stream. Given the documentation currently says, “Use this variant in combination with e.g. sys.stdin, . . .”, I presume that is why you were using plain stdin. The documentation should be clarified.
