Look more closely. Just create a config file with a PYZ section 
pointing to your package. Run Builder.py on it. Make sure 
imputil.py and archive_rt.py are available outside the archive. 
Then the magic incantation:

imputil.FuncImporter(
 archive_rt.ZlibArchive("mypyz.pyz",0).get_code).install()

will make everything in your package available to normal 
"import" statements.
