[Python-Dev] Another approach for the import mechanism

Sorry. I wouldn't like to do something in a different way than Jython
does, or to obligate you to rework that. OTOH, I belive that this is a
better scheme, and my obligation is to discuss that with you. If it's of
common sense that this isn't good, it won't be accepted, and that's all.

That's a very similar idea. But if you don't like __init__.zip, just
rename it to __module__.zip, or whatever.

Can you please explain how the propose changes that?
