The main idea is to treating package as a program and run package initialization code from command line. The advantage is zipping all program modules in one zip archive and running the program from command line without unzipping it, like Java's jar's. But this idea need more thoughts however... Couldn't you use: python -c "import packagename" for this purpose even today?

python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'module.zip'); import module"

Seems ugly... :)
