Unfortunately the distutils.archive_util module was written before tarfile was available.

Are there chances to see this implemented?

Are you volunteering? :) If so, then perhaps you can get a patch in for Python 2.6.

Uhm... why not? :-) If someone could give me some pointers on nailing down the issue I could give it a try (note: never seen distutils internals before).

See the distutils.archive_util module - the disutils uses that for all its archive creation.

My only concern is that it's not rare that patches provided by users are often ignored and they remains stagnant on the Python bug tracker. I just wouldn't spend time on that for nothing.

Well, I can review the patch and commit it, if I like it. :)
