Yeah, that’s always the discussion when writing a Python utility that has a 
unix equivalent: do you want to be familiar to Python users or to the unix tool 
users?

I don’t have a strong opinion.  I think unix users would have no reason to use 
python -m tarfile, and windows users won’t have the expectation that the 
interface is the same as tar—unless they are unix people who are using a 
windows machine for whatever reason.  If it were me, I’d just start with python 
-m tarfile --help, so I’d have no expectations :)
