That should work today - the zipfile/directory support shouldn't care about the filename at all (although the test suite doesn't currently cover any extensions other than .zip, so I could be wrong about that...). > then process it the same way as this > mysterious, not mentioned in the What's New .zip execution facility. Agreed this is all a bit underdocumented though - it is only mentioned in the online command line docs [1], with no mention anywhere in the tutorial or the interpreter's own help message, nor is it mentioned in the "Interpreter Changes" section for the What's New for 2.6 or 3.1.
