Hello,
It happened to me several time : re-write a small function to archive a directory, to mimic "tar -xzvf archive.tgz directory"
What about adding in tarfile this small function:
def archive_tree(archive_name, src_dir [[, add_empty_dir], callable]) -> creates an archive that contains the files in directory, by recursively walking into it.
if add_empty_dir is set to False (default: True), empty directory founded will not be added
if callable is provided, it will be triggered everytime a file is added in the archive and will return True or False
If False, the file will not be added
regards Tarek

Given that you already have this code, please upload to bugs.python.org (possibly also PyPI and/or Cookbook) so it doesn't get lost.

I would call the callback-function "filter" or similar.
