I don't see any advantage to zipping. If done at install-time (which is necessary to make the scripts maintainable in the source tree) it also has the downside of introducing another difficulty in supporting source builds equivalently to installed builds.
That's true, I hadn't thought of that. So then it sounds like the thing to do is make venv a package and have the code in venv/__init__.py, then have the scripts in a 'scripts' subdirectory below that. The API would then change to take the absolute pathname of the scripts directory to install from, right? Regards, Vinay Sajip
