+In addition, the :mod:`shutil` module now supports :ref:`archiving operations
+<archiving-operations>` for zipfiles, uncompressed tarfiles, gzipped tarfiles,
+and bzipped tarfiles. And there are functions for registering additional
+archiving file formats (such as xz compressed tarfiles or custom formats).
+
+The principal functions are :func:`~shutil.make_archive` and
+:func:`~shutil.unpack_archive`. By default, both operate on the current
+directory (which can be set by :func:`os.chdir`) and on any sub-directories.
+The archive filename needs to specified with a full pathname. The archiving
+step is non-destructive (the original files are left unchanged).
+
+::
+
+ >>> import shutil, pprint
+ >>> os.chdir('mydata') # change to the source directory
+ >>> f = make_archive('/var/backup/mydata', 'zip') # archive the current directory
+ >>> f # show the name of archive
+ '/var/backup/mydata.zip'
+ >>> os.chdir('tmp') # change to an unpacking
+ >>> shutil.unpack_archive('/var/backup/mydata.zip') # recover the data
+ >>> pprint.pprint(shutil.get_archive_formats()) # display known formats
+ [('bztar', "bzip2'ed tar-file"),
+ ('gztar', "gzip'ed tar-file"),
+ ('tar', 'uncompressed tar file'),
+ ('zip', 'ZIP file')]
+ >>> shutil.register_archive_format( # register a new archive format
+ name = 'xz',
+ function = 'xz.compress',
+ extra_args = [('level', 8)],
+ description = 'xz compression'
