There are several ways to argue that is is a bug fix: zipimport.c doesn't handle zip files which are no problem for the zipfile module. Okay, that does seem like a problem. SF's web site is dead again, but go ahead and check it in when it comes back up.

I thought this already worked, and I'd like it to. But as it doesn't, I'd have to agree that it's a new feature and not appropriate at this late stage (much as I'd like it to go in).

[Mumble, click] Ah yes. See http://www.python.org/sf/669036 - Just meant to get to this, but didn't manage to. On the other hand, the fact that it's logged as a bug may mean it makes sense to allow it.

It would be best if someone else who really uses zipimports would be able to test it - I really don't want to break anything.
