Which must be done carefully to prevent a security issue. It shouldn't be unzipped anywhere but into a directory only writable by the process. Once http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11767 is implemented and available in libc, no extraction of .so's should be needed (they will likely need to be stored uncompressed in the .zip file for that though).
For windows there is already code that does it: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Hacks/ZipExtImporter This page is not up-to-date, but it describes the idea and the implementation. The code currently is 32-bit only and for Python 2 but that probably can be fixed. It is based on Joachim Bauch's MemoryModule: https://github.com/fancycode/MemoryModule Thomas _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
