Correct me if I am wrong here but since runpy doesn't know anything about the script being a zip file to add such a support we will have to break the current delegation mechanism and bring runpy in the loop too. Also, since a zip file is automatically checked for (I believe there are no switches to specify that the script is a zip) will it not be a two trip mechanism: You naively try a to run a zip; get an error (say ERR_ZIP_ENCRYPTED) and then ask for password? > >> >> I added a -1 to the tracker issue as well.
