Actually, it does. Try this experiment for yourself:
sorry, my bad - I meant (and should have written) "does not load a
significant number of libraries"
perhaps we could do a test to see what percentage of the load time comes
from python loading, and what comes from the rest of chandler.
If you imagined starting your stopwatch when ./release/RunChandler was
run, then hitting on the first line of Chandler.py, and then hitting it
again when the chandler window is done rendering. Now those would be
some interesting numbers to see with/without some zipping!
Maybe a wx person (or john, for a CPIA answer) can tell us how we know
when the main view has finished rendering?

python -c "import sys; print sys.modules.keys()"
If you go through the list of module names printed, you'll find that
quite a few of them (e.g. warnings, exceptions, site, types, some
parts of re, os.path and others) are coming from .py files that are
imported by Python as part of its normal startup operations. So yes,
"pass" does load quite a few libraries from the .zip, and that's what
accounts for the 350ms difference on the Mac start time, and the 40ms
or so difference on the faster machine.
