Let me get this right: if I had a one-liner hello.py (containing the
line print "Hello, world") all I'd need to do is
(1) rename hello.py to __main__.py
(2) zip hello.zip __main__.py.
Then,
python hello.zip
would work exactly as python hello.py did previously?
Sounds plausible. I'm not entirely clear on the details of the code
needed (long day!) - would you be willing to produce a patch? (One
major point in favour of the -z patch is that it exists already!)
Paul.
