 Yeah I meant zip file.
I can get to work but is it is not able to locate the packages,says
import error cant find the package and module

here is my code

import sys
import os.path as op
sys.path.insert(0, op.join(op.dirname(op.abspath(__file__)),
"somezip.zip"))

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

import some.storagepackage.somemodule
print "upload"
print "syspath",sys.path

#do something

should it not find the modules when the zip files is in sys.path..?
