Hello,<br>
<br>
For 2.7/3.2, I am in the process of removing modules in Distutils that<br>
can be replaced by calls to existing functions in stdlib. For<br>
instance, "dir_util" and "file_util" (old modules from the Python 1.x<br>
era) are going away in favor of calls to shutil (and os), so the<br>
Distutils package gets lighter.<br>
<br>
Another module I would like to move away from Distutils is<br>
"archive_util". It contains helpers to build archives, whether they<br>
are zip or tar files. I propose to move those useful functions into<br>
shutil, as this seems the most logical place.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If it's archive-agnostic then shutil is probably the best place.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
I also propose to maintain this "shutil" module for now on (no one is<br>
declared as a maintainer in maintainers.rst) since Distutils will<br>
become a heavy user of its functions.<br>
