I still don't understand. Is that some feature of Python?

How will the zip importer know what zipfile to read?

If I have "python23.zip", and do

import httplib

what mechanism will extract httplib.py from python23.zip?

> from MyArchive_with_many_modules import MyModule

So you could only zip entire packages? This is insufficient.
