It looks like Traits itself isn't dependent on zipimport (it depends
on setuptools, which requires zipimport), so you should be able to get
away with putting an empty zipimport.py file somewhere on sys.path.
I've done this before to get things setuptools stuff working; as long
as it doesn't try to *use* zipimport, you're OK.

I don't know of anything else that works the same, but it should be
possible to make it work, if you can get IronClad to handle the C
portion of it (they don't have a pure Python version, *grumble
grumble*).
