I've just gone through the code, haven't tested it yet, will do next.

[xitij2000]

I don't think this comment is relevant here, it's when it's being used that it matters.
Additionally I don't think we need to comment about standard library features.

[xitij2000]

I think this name is a bit ambiguous. Perhaps IMPORTABLE_ARCHIVE_EXTENSIONS?

I think extensions can also sometimes mean plugins etc so just want this to be clear. After all it is entirely reasonable to make the import architecture pluggable and support a plugin to expand file formats.

[rodfersou]

how about:

Suggested change

	IMPORT_EXTENSIONS = ('.tar.gz', '.zip')
	IMPORTABLE_FILE_TYPES = ('.tar.gz', '.zip')

[xitij2000]

Perhaps reword this to error message to also use the variable? i.e.
'We support uploading files in one of the following formats: {extensions}'

[xitij2000]

This should also mention zip.

[rodfersou]

I probably missed this part of the work; How can I test the export / import of a library?

[xitij2000]

Remove this and other lint supressions.
