Yes, check with (I think) Greg Stein and/or Gordon MacMillan and/or Jim
Ahlstrom.  One or all of them have developed at least one Python bytecode
archive that uses import hooks to search the archive for modules.  If I
understand things correctly, startup performance is enhanced because the
number of file system operations (stats, directory reads) drops dramatically
during module search.
