Remember that you probably should not mention “xztar” in the 3.4 or 2.7 docs (even though “lzma” exists in 3.4).

I am not too familiar with using shutil or zipfile, but it seems like extraction of some zip files is always possible, even if zlib (for Deflate) isn’t available (e.g. for zip files that are not compressed, or use bzip2 or LZMA). Maybe you should only make zip file _creation_ conditional.
