Ah. "GZIP"? It's straight zlib compression, right?
I also wonder whether base64 encoding in the source would be more
efficient than a repr-ed string for binary data. Hm, I guess the
packager could find out by trying both...
I'm not too sure I like is the fact you need to replace the __init__.py
when packaging. I'd think something like this could work (at least in
the context of freeze, py2exe, Installer and zipimport):
import os
for d in __path__:
try:
files = os.listdir(d)
except IOError:
pass
else:
...scan for data files...
