[Python-Dev] zipimport to read from a file object instead of just a path?

[Shy Shalom]

In zipimport.c, function get_data(), the zip file is opened using fopen()
and read with CLib functions.
Did anyone ever consider making it possible to read the zipped data from a
generic file object and not just using a string path?
Using StringIO, This would allow a higher degree of python embedding in an
application.
I would be able to have a zip file in memory and make python read modules
from it.
