Suggested change
:mod:`tarfile` now accepts a path-like object when writing a compressed gzip.
:class:`tarfile.Tarfile` now accepts a :term:`path-like <path-like object>` when working on a tar archive.

tarfile supports more compression formats than gzip, and this should also work when reading tarfiles, so I would make the news entry a bit more generic.

One suggestion for the news entry, but otherwise looks good!
