Is there a pre-written script that will provide either a tar+gz or PkZip like functionality on top of ZLIB?

There should be modules for both formats. Search through Deja.com.

AND

If you can build zlib into the application, can you not also hack in
info-zip as well?  Python it ain't, but it should do what you want.

AND

A URL for a PkZip-like tool. It is module 'zipfile.py' in 
ftp://ftp.interet.com/pub/pylib.html

From Python 2.0 (maybe, 1.6), zipfile.py is a part of standard library.
