  - Import from zipfiles is now supported.  The name of a zipfile placed
!   on sys.path causes the import statement to look for importable
!   Python modules (with .py, pyc and .pyo extensions) and packages
!   inside the zipfile.  To support this, several new variables have
!   been added to the sys module: sys.meta_path, sys.path_hooks, and
!   sys.path_importer_cache; these make extending the import statement
!   much more convenient than overriding the __import__ built-in
!   function.  For a description of these, see PEP 302.  The zipfile
!   import follows the specification (though not the sample
!   implementation) of PEP 273.  The semantics of __path__ are
    compatible with those that have been implemented in Jython since
    Jython 2.1.
