Аnd I've found out the root cause of this issue so far. Unit-test and patch
are suggested.
Without patch test fails, with patch - passed.

is a part of zip-module.
Python version being used is 3.3.0 Well known GUI debuggers like Eclipse+PyDev or PyCharm are unable to
start debugging and give the following warning:
---
pydev debugger: CRITICAL WARNING: This version of python seems to be
incorrectly compiled (internal generated filenames are not absolute)
pydev debugger: The debugger may still function, but it will work
slower and may miss breakpoints.

So I started my own investigation of this issue and results are the
following. At first I took traditional python debugger 'pdb' to analyze how it
behaves during debugging of zipped module.
'pdb' showed me some backtaces and filename part for stack entries
looks malformed.
I expected something like
'full-path-to-zip-dir/my_zipped_module.zip/subdir/test_module.py'
but realy it looks like 'full-path-to-current-dir/subdir/test_module.py' Source code in pdb.py and bdb.py (which one are a part of python
stdlib) gave me the answer why it happens. The root cause are inside Bdb.format_stack_entry() + Bdb.canonic() Please take a look at the following line inside 'format_stack_entry'
method: filename = self.canonic(frame.f_code.co_filename) For zipped module variable 'frame.f_code.co_filename' holds _relative_
file path started from the root of zip archive like
'subdir/test_module.py'
And as result Bdb.canonic() method gives what we have -
'full-path-to-current-dir/subdir/test_module.py'

So my final question.
Could anyone confirm that it is a bug in python core subsystem which
one is responsible for loading zipped modules,
or something is wrong with my zipped module ? If it is a bug could you please submit it into official python bugtracker ?
I never did it before and afraid to do something wrong. Thanks,
