A trick we added to 2.6 that users seem to not notice is that it is now possible to execute zipfiles and directories from the command line by including a main.py module (that module will then be executed, but more importantly, the zipfile or directory name will be added to the beginning of sys.path so related modules can be found easily).
I went looking for this in the 2.6 What's New and couldn't find anything about it (certainly not in the most obvious section - the one that describes the other changes to the interpreter command line options and environment variables).
Did I just miss something? Or should more on this be added to the What's New for 2.6.1?
Cheers, Nick.
