Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Moving zipimporter to Python code is harder than it sounds: we don't want to break the ability to ship the standard library itself inside a zipfile.
If you try to move zipimporter to pure Python, you could easily end up with a *very* ugly bootstrapping problem, on par with that already encountered when hacking on importlib._bootstrap. In fact, the path of least resistance here might actually be to implement zipimporter directly *in* importlib._bootstrap. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14678> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
