Are you refering to PEP 302? As far as I understand, importing from zips
is implemented with "new style" hooks which are incompatible with
ihooks. See this passage at the end:
"Existing __import__ hooks will not invoke new-style hooks by magic,
unless they call the original __import__ function as a fallback. For
example, ihooks.py, iu.py and imputil.py are in this sense not forward
compatible with this PEP."
Maybe this is the reason why it does not work? Instead of ihooks, should
one use the new style hooks of PEP 302? I must admit I don't see through
this whole importing mess.
Mmmm... import hooks have scared/scarred me enough that I haven't really
looked into the details ;) But what you are saying sounds right.
