You would also run in to the usual problems with any form of DRM: the
password *will* exist in memory in order for zipimport to be able to use
it, so anyone that really wants the password will be able to get hold of it.

It also isn't as simple as just providing a single password - there can
be multiple zip files on sys.path, so how is Python meant to know which
password goes with which zipfile?

Another -1 here.
