It's also an excellent example of why intentional comments are desirable. I'd
be happy to submit a patch to clean up the extension handling. The logic is
simple, and easy to fix. But I don't completely understand the intent.
Why were the particular extensions chosen for support? Are we really likely to
see an uncompressed tar file? Why does app_install() unlink everything but tar
files? Is it just making assumptions about what gets left around in what
circumstances, or is something else going on?
Another problem:
elif filename[-7:] == '.tar.gz':
will raise an exception for short file names, like ab.w2p. Should be using
endswith().
