I'm working hard on a zipimport module that uses sys.import_hooks. It's going to be SO much cleaner than the existing zip import patch.
Ok. I then won't apply the existing patch until a) your zipfile patch comes along to review, or b) significant time has passed after 2.3a1 (for some reasonable value for "significant")
The only reservation I have about this is if the existing patch starts going "out of date" again. I can't get CVS to work on my slow dial-up connection, for anything other than a straight cvs checkout, so I'm reduced to full downloads and manually updating the patch. This is both tedious and error-prone. Just promised his patch in "a couple of days". If that's the timescale, I'm fine with this plan. But if it's a couple of weeks, then I'm going to be annoyed if the reintegration turns out to be complicated. Paul.
