Why? What is the reason you can have multiple files?

Have a look at what Python Installer does (or NSIS installer).
IMO the OS will need a "real" file so what you'll have to do is extract
it at runtime and then load it.

Again. I'd extract it to a temporary file and load it. This way you can
use the regular `import'.

HTH.
