About a month ago, I submitted two patches that address Pdb and doctest inability to load source code from modules with custom loaders such as modules loaded from zip files:

http://bugs.python.org/issue4201 http://bugs.python.org/issue4197 The patches are very simple, basically calls to linecache.getline() need to be provided with the module's dict to enable linecache to find the module's loader. There is also http://bugs.python.org/issue4223 which goes in the same direction.

I've assigned all 3 of those to myself, since I've been meaning to look at some zipimport related stuff anyway (the things I'm looking at are 2.7/3.1 related though, so I was waiting for the 3.0 release to be cut first).

We already missed the 2.6.1 deadline though.

Cheers, Nick.
