Looking at the source code and API for both shutil and archive_util, I think that the archive_util methods fit into shutil. shutil currently wraps some standard library facilities with convenience functions for operations you might otherwise perform at the shell command line using OS facilities. As far as I can tell, archive_util does the same, and seems quite within the shutil mission of "high level file operations". So +1 from me for putting these in shutil. -- R.
