I guess that's all :))
You may or may not be able to use bin/arch, but you can't use it in conjunction with an external archiver because of list locking. If you call bin/arch from your external archiver and wait for it to return, you will have a deadlock, and if you don't wait, it won't run until after your external archiver finishes.
I.e., an external archiver command like
'|/path/bin/arch $(listname)s;/path/myscript.py $(listname)s'
creates a deadlock, and one like
'|/path/bin/arch $(listname)s&/path/myscript.py $(listname)s'
doesn't work because myscript.py has to complete before bin/arch can obtain the list lock.
