[issue22322] Zip files created by `git archive` result in a SyntaxError (due to comment?)

[Peter Wu]

New submission from Peter Wu:

Files created by `git archive` are not understood by the Python interpreter. This could be caused by the additional comment (for the commit hash) in the file.

echo 'print(1)' > __main__.py
git init && git add __main__.py && git commit -m init
git archive --format=zip HEAD > y.zip
python y.zip

Packing it with `zip x.zip __main__.py && python x.zip` works.
