[Python-Dev] PEP 273 comments

[Martin v. Loewis]

Hi Jim,

Reading through PEP 273, I have a couple of comments:

Section zlib, "will fail with a message":

Is this still current? Looking at the implementation, it seems that
you'll rather get an import error, which sounds much better.

Section Booting

Looking at the implementation, it appears that PyImport_InitZip
already invokes PyImport_ImportModule. Is there a mechanism that
prevents ZIP import from being used while it is not ready yet?

Regards,
Martin
