I am confused. Zip archives are equivalant to subdirectories, so there is no requirement to have anything at the top level. Your example seems to imply a second search path besides sys.path.

[GvR]

I think Finn simply means that the zipfile may have some redundant initial suffix to all filenames (e.g. "Lib/") ...

Yes, that was it!
