Message 332612 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Okay, this looks like a zipimport issue. When I extract the "python37.zip" file containing the stdlib and reference the directory it works fine. But no matter what I do to the ZIP I can't get it to run.

It seems that zipimport either can't import .pyc files without a matching .py, or it can't import packages marked with init.pyc (I haven't gone deep enough, but adding encodings/init.py got me further).

This is a regression from 3.7.1.

Things to do:

• fix the regression (Serhiy?)
• add a regression test
• add a ".pyc-only stdlib in ZIP" test (I'll do this)
• remove the double vcruntime in ZIP issue (unrelated, so I'll just fix it)
