This patch adds support for file(-like) objects and
bzip2 compression to tarfile.py. It works around the
limitation of the bz2 module that you cannot create a
BZ2File object from a file or file-like object but from
a filename only.  
Bug #1488634 reminded me that I had this workaround in
my development version of tarfile.py since last year. I
think it would generally be a good addition for
stdlib's tarfile.py, and would solve the OP's problem
as a side-effect.

The patch adds a class _BZ2Proxy to Lib/tarfile.py and
adds tests for this feature to Lib/test/test_tarfile.py.
