The local patch I have for PEP 366 is somewhat stale, and before I bring it up to date with SVN head, I'd like to close out the issue raised a while back regarding making zip files executable [1].
The original proposal was for a new command line switch, but PJE came up with a patch (attached to the roundup tracker item) that uses the existing import machinery to avoid the need for the extra command line switch (by checking if the argument is a valid sys.path entry before checking to see if it is an executable script).
I personally like the idea (and PJE's approach), and the performance impact on script startup time appears to be negligible (although I haven't performed any high precision measurements - I'm just using the Linux time utility on a short test script with and without the patch).
Are there any objections to my committing this?
Cheers, Nick.
