Warning, new comer at large.
I've been playing with Gordon's win32 installer and really
like the idea of the .pyz to wrap things up. I've been doing
the same thing with zlib to create .pyc files. I send them=20
too other people I work with. They execute the .pyc which
explodes on their disk. It runs a setup.py file and handles
platform details.
Archives are real handy and zip is a pretty standard one.
So wouldn't zip compatibility be good. It seems that=20
understanding the header format for zip along with zlib
might let you decode a zip.
There's a bunch of zip info at:
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/Info-ZIP.html
And an unzip.dll that could be used if decoding the header
was too much pain.
Has anyone tried to work with zips from python ?
