Yes, it will be available by next Monday. I just want to get it really working and pretty, and with documentation.

I think we need some kind of zip file support in the core so that it can be used as a standard distribution format. I'd be happy if Jim's zipfile module ended up being it. We've got some zip code that we developed at CNRI; it's a bit of a mess, but it might be helpful to see what we did. Our code is at ftp://www.python.org/pub/tmp/zip.zip Jeremy
