Python library to iterate through a tar file

## Example

```python

with open('archive.tar', 'rb') as f:

    found = None

    for entry in iter_tar(f):

        if str(entry.name) == 'sentinel.txt':

            found = entry

    if found is None:

        raise KeyError('sentinel.txt')

    with found.name.open(mode='wb') as out:

        shutil.copyfileobj(found, out)

        out.seek(found.size)

        out.truncate()

    found.name.chmod(found.mode)

    os.chown(found.name, found.uid, found.gid)

```
