A: Yes :) Basically, anything useful in distutils.file_util and distutils.dir_util can maove in Shutil. That's why I added make_archive (and unpack_archive) Please add an issue, I'll work on adding this function, Thanks Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
