No one is talking about solving this problem overnight. But if we don't want to bother putting the effort in now then the zipimport module might as well get tossed as this is a constant issue that people are not designing APIs to support.
Whoa - nobody said that in-Python APIs of this nature shouldn't be improved (as Christian says he's already done with this one). I was pointing out that there are also third-party APIs that we don't control which people will want to use, meaning that the need [for an API] to copy in-zip resources to the file system will be around for quite some time.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Obviously read your text in a way you didn't mean for it to be read. =)
