I don't follow you; this has nothing to do with setuptools. It's a feature of Python since version 2.3,
I mean install/update/delete package to exist zip archive, which may contain many other packages(some time it's hart to understand what i write not on native language , sorry ).
but as far as I know nobody's ever set up the build machinery to create the necessary zipfile when Python is installed. Perhaps that would be a nice place to begin your patch: a script to create a stdlib zipfile in the platform-appropriate location, that can run after the bytecode compilation of the stdlib modules, or that users can run on older versions of Python to do the same thing.
I already work on this ). -- K.Danilov aka KoDer
