7zip can decompress both, but it still creates "dist/" directory when
decompressing file that is made with Python.

I've noticed this bug with extra path component is actual with "tar" +
"gzip" under windows. If they are executed separately and windows path
with backslashes is used - directory prefix is not stripped. I.e. this
creates archive with invalid header:

{{{
tar -cf dist\create_tar_sep.tar package
gzip -f9 dist\create_tar_sep.tar
}}}

This command is ok:

{{{
tar -cf dist\create_tar_sep.tar package
gzip -f9 dist/create_tar_sep.tar
}}}
