I believe there also needs to be a complete implementation of zlib as
well, but that might just be for easy_install (which is still pretty

nasty to get working with a DeflateStream.
Yep. I have a 'mostly complete' implementation of zipimport in pure
Python (would need some work as the caching is not compatible with
setuptools but should be easy to fix). This depends on zipfile, which as
you say uses zlib.decompressobj.
It should be possible to replace the use of zipfile with direct use of
the .NET APIs. Both zlib and zipimport should really be available for
IronPython though... :-)

Hello guys,
In order to use projects like Turbogears with IronPython (I'm at a
Turbogears sprint) we need setuptools to work. In order for setuptools to
work we need zipimport - which is a builtin module in Python.
The Jython guys have setuptools working... (only the Genshi package is
blocking Turbogears from working on Jython.)
Having setuptools working on IronPython is becoming increasingly important
as it becomes the standard distribution and installation mechanism for
Python packages.
I'm looking at a pure Python version of zipimport (provided by Guido for use
on the AppEngine). It doesn't work unmodified but should be easy enough to
get working as a stopgap measure. I've added a comment to codeplex issue
