I am not sure if you are saying that code already exists to
import from zip archives, or that iu4.py should be used as
the basis.
I think the best approach is for me to write up a PEP based
on the discussions so far, and let everyone criticize. The
proposal is only to import from zip archives, not
whether to replace imputil.py with iu4.py.
I will submit a PEP after I write some code. I often find
that my initial design is poor once I implement it. So
expect the PEP in a week or so. This won't make it into
2.2, so there is no rush, right?
