</div>The necessary work would actually be in zipimport. runpy doesn't know<br>
anything about the details of where the module code comes from, it just<br>
asks the relevant importer for the details. For zipfile and directory<br>
execution, they get added to the start of sys.path and then runpy is<br>
invoked to look for the module "__main__". From that point on most of<br>
the heavy lifting is handled by the regular import machinery (aside from<br>
using the pkgutil emulation for the basic import behaviour that isn't<br>
fully exposed by the imp module).<br>
<br>
I added a -1 to the tracker issue as well. That's due both to my opinion<br>
on the inherent idiocy of DRM though (since shared secrets don't provide<br>
any security when the attacker in your threat model is one of the people<br>
you are sharing the secret with) and to the fact that associating<br>
passwords with the relevant zipfile entries on sys.path would get messy<br>
fairly quickly.<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>
