The naming of the functions feels inconsistent -- maybe pack(directory, target) -> create_archive(directory, archive), and set_interpreter() -> copy_archive(archive, new_archive)?

One possible source of confusion with copy_archive (and its command line equivalent "python -m zipapp old.pyz -o new.pyz") is that it isn't technically a copy, as it changes the shebang line (if you omit the interpreter argument it removes the existing shebang).
Is the difference between create and copy important? e.g., is there anything wrong with create_archive(old_archive, output=new_archive) working as well as create_archive(directory, archive)? -jJ -- If there are still threading problems with my replies, please email me with details, so that I can try to resolve them. -jJ
