"""
Module that generates a .tgz archive from the contents of the web_static
folder, using the function do_pack.
    - Prototype: def do_pack():
    - All files in the folder web_static must be added to the final archive
    - All archives must be stored in the folder versions (your function should
      create this folder if it doesn't exist)
    - The name of the archive created must be
      web_static_<year><month><day><hour><minute><second>.tgz
    - The function do_pack must return the archive path if the archive has
      been correctly generated. Otherwise, it should return None
