Hello, For 2.7/3.2, I am in the process of removing modules in Distutils that can be replaced by calls to existing functions in stdlib. For instance, "dir_util" and "file_util" (old modules from the Python 1.x era) are going away in favor of calls to shutil (and os), so the Distutils package gets lighter. Another module I would like to move away from Distutils is "archive_util". It contains helpers to build archives, whether they are zip or tar files. I propose to move those useful functions into shutil, as this seems the most logical place. I also propose to maintain this "shutil" module for now on (no one is declared as a maintainer in maintainers.rst) since Distutils will become a heavy user of its functions. Any objections/opinions ?
