60This module provides a few functions for creating archive files, such as
61tarballs or zipfiles.

68Create an archive file (eg. <code>zip</code> or <code>tar</code>). <var>base_name</var>
69is the name of the file to create, minus any format-specific extension;
70<var>format</var> is the archive format: one of <code>zip</code>, <code>tar</code>,
71<code>ztar</code>, or <code>gztar</code>.
72<var>root_dir</var> is a directory that will be the root directory of the
73archive; ie. we typically <code>chdir</code> into <var>root_dir</var> before
74creating the archive. <var>base_dir</var> is the directory where we start
75archiving from; ie. <var>base_dir</var> will be the common prefix of all files and
76directories in the archive. <var>root_dir</var> and <var>base_dir</var> both default
77to the current directory. Returns the name of the archive file.

88<dd>'Create an (optional compressed) archive as a tar file from all files in and under <var>base_dir</var>. <var>compress</var> must be <code>'gzip'</code> (the default),

93the appropriate compression extension (<span class="file">.gz</span>, <span class="file">.bz2</span> or

106Create a zip file from all files in and under <var>base_dir</var>. The output
107zip file will be named <var>base_dir</var> + <span class="file">.zip</span>. Uses either the
108<tt class="module">zipfile</tt> Python module (if available) or the InfoZIP <span class="file">zip</span>
109utility (if installed and found on the default search path). If neither
110tool is available, raises <tt class="exception">DistutilsExecError</tt>.
111Returns the name of the output zip file.
