Hi!

This script packs all files and directories inside the ``source_dir`` 
into the TAR-GZ-Archive (``destination``):


   import os.path
   import tarfile

   def to_tar_gz(source_dir, destination):
       """
       :param source_dir: Source directory name.
       :param destination: Destination filename.
                           (TAR-GZ-Archive *.tar.gz)
       """

       t = tarfile.open(name = destination, mode = 'w:gz')
       t.add(source_dir, os.path.basename(source))
       t.close()

       return True
