Nick Coghlan  added the comment:

Noticed this was still open when reviewing Elvis's zipimport patch for issue 
34022.

Given the Python implementation has been merged, should we close this as 
resolved, and open new issues for any further changes (performance or 
otherwise)?

Brett Cannon  added the comment:

I think Serhiy's PR is basically done, so now the question is do we want to 
merge it in and drop the C code? ;)

I obviously say yes because this is I/O-bound code and so the switch shouldn't 
be enough of a performance hit to warrant blocking the gain in maintainability 
long-term (especially if we try to clean the module up slowly).

Barry, since I know you work with zip files a lot at work did you want to check 
to make sure perf won't be an issue for your use-case?

PR 6809 freezes zipimport.py, adds changes made in zipimport.c since writing

Decorater  added the comment:

So, after reviewing this it started to make me rethink about the zipimport.py 
file.

So my question is how would that file work if it is an pyc file in python37.zip 
or something just to zipimport other modules? There is got to be some sort of 
low level api that can zip import the zip importer then on the rewrite. Am I 
right?

Maybe the best bet is to wait for bug reports on the C Code and fixup the C 
Code if possible so that way there is no conflicts like the ones I just 
questioned.

I've ported the patch to a branch on GH.  See PR 4023.  I started from 
zipimport-2.patch.  It doesn't work, but it will be easier to work on as a PR 
rather than a patch.

Contributions welcome!  Let's see if we can make this work.

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw  added the comment:

I've landed here after chatting with @brett.cannon.  I have a use case for this 
(making pex startup faster by bypassing pkg_resources) but I need to hack 
around the limitation of dlopen'ing .so's from zips.  Our idea was to have a 
zipimport subclass which doesn't return None from `importlib.util.find_spec()` 
when it finds a .so, but instead dumps that into some safe directory, and then 
arranges for a loader that knows how to load that.  It sure would be handy for 
this to be a zipimporter subclass. :)

I think Serhiy's patch predates the move to GitHub, so it's not a branch/PR.  I 
guess the next step would be to branchify the patch and then continue 
discussion over there.  Depending on my availability, I might do that.

Brett Cannon added the comment:

Just FYI, if this lands I will probably try to build off of it to make a 
pathlib-like zip module to eventually replace zipfile. So if there's any API 
design decisions that need to be made, it would be great if we try to keep the 
zip-specific bits separate and generic enough to work with in other future 
libraries.

And having a private copy of os.fsdecode() isn't difficult as os.fspath() is in

I think yes. But I don't know how to do this. I hope on Brett's (or other 
import machinery expert) help.

Since zipimporter constructor is called only with string path by import 
machinery, the os module is not imported at initialization stage.

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

So long as this code block that imports os is avoided, I believe that this can 
be properly frozen:

+if not isinstance(path, str):
+import os
+path = os.fsdecode(path)

But it should be easy to avoid that code path when the standard library is a 
zip file.

Otherwise it uses importlib (frozen), marshal (builtin), sys (builtin), time 
(builtin), and zlib [if present] (extension module).

Technically, will it be possible to freeze it? It seems useful to keep the 
ability to put the whole stdlib into a single ZIP. Using a ZIP is sometimes 
suggested to avoid fstat() on disk for example, to speedup Python startup.

But I also understand that the C code is painful to maintain and update.

Anyway, nice job Serhiy :-)

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

No one wants to work on zipimport, and yet it's full of bugs. It needs a 
rewrite so that it's more maintainable. An idea floated at PyCon 2015 was to 
writing the zip-reading code in C and to keep it as simple as possible -- e.g., 
don't worry about supporting comments, etc. -- and then write the rest of the 
code in importlib, making maintenance much easier.

All of the various zipimport bugs should be made dependent on this issue as 
unless they are critical flaws I doubt they will get fixed without the rewrite.
