Nick Coghlan a écrit :

Another option is to remove bytecode-only support from the default filesystem importer, but keep it for zipimport (since the stat call savings don't apply in the latter case).

bytecode-only in a zip is used by py2exe, cx_freeze and the like, for space reasons. Disabling it would probably hurt them.

However, making a difference between zipimport and the filesystem importer means the application will stop working if I unzip the library zip file, which is surprising. Unzipping the zip file can be handy when debugging a bug caused by a forgotten module.
