[Python-Dev] Fwd: zipimport

[Rose Ames]

At pycon I talked with a few people about bugs.python.org/issue19699.
The consensus seemed to be that zipimport wants a lot of work, possibly
a rewrite.

I'll have some time to work on this over the next couple of months, but
I want to be working on the right thing.  Could the people who were
involved in that conversation remind me of their concerns with
zipimport?  What exactly would the goal of a rewrite be?

Thanks,

Rose
