Point taken.

For dynamically loaded modules, I believe in following the
native system's DLL path, and not adding eccentric Python
logic.  But many disagreed a couple week's ago when I raised this.

For resources, I think the archive file can accommodate this,
although it seems highly system dependent.

Anyway, any file at all can live in the archive and the import
mechanism for *.pyc will not be damaged nor unduly slowed down
by its presence.
