Hi all,

    I'm trying out the MapReduce library as a way to handle long-
running tasks.  The very first thing in the Getting Started page
( http://code.google.com/p/appengine-mapreduce/wiki/GettingStartedInPython
) is to download the library into the application directory.  This
adds about 100 files to my application.

    I have read about using zipimport to combine the Django library
into a single zip file, and then adding the file to Python's path.  I
tried to do this with MapReduce.

    The first problem is that MapReduce is meant to be called from
app.yaml, not from a Python module, e.g.:

handlers:
- url: /mapreduce(/.*)?
  script: mapreduce/main.py

    There is no way to tell app.yaml to use zipimport, is there?  Are
there any plans to make mapreduce into a "native" handler so I don't
need to download the library at all?

    In general, has anyone successfully used zipimport on any library
besides Django?  There doesn't seem to be any working examples out
there.

    ~Brent
