ok, so I'm thinking of adding a method to the storage class so I can do
this:
self.storage.archive_has(f, print_msg=True) and sys.exit()

thinking:
self.storage.memberof('archive', f, print_msg=Tree) and sys.exit()
Is that the best solution you can think of?
This is just _my_ opinion, of course.
I don't like the construct "blablabla() and sys.exit()" or
"blablabla() or sys.exit()", I prefer an explicit check "if not
blablabla(): exit()"
I'm not sure what you mean by "archive" but instead of a string, make
it an object so you can write self.storage.archive.has_file(f). The
check should do just *that*, return a boolean without side effects;
if you want to print a message, make the caller print it.
If you alias .has_file as .__contains__, you could also write: if f
in self.storage.archive, which looks even better.
