The top of the tree inside the zip file. Depth zero. Not inside any  
directory. Above anything else. Just a bare name.

Open your zip using the zipfile module:

import zipfile
z = zipfile.ZipFile("xxx.zip")
z.printdir()

You should see a line starting with __main__.py *without* any / in it.

Use the second one.
