The only benefit I can see for the set_* method is to hide
the underlying complexity you've explained.
In Distutils, I'd like to provide a uid and gid option
to the sdist command where the user can set "root" for instance
and see the lib taking care of creating a tarfile with everything
set to the right value (and ignore the flags under windows etc)
So it seems that working per TarInfo is the wrong approach,
and a global function to create an archive would be better.

The patch looks nice to me
small typo in the doc :
> How create
should be "How to create" |
