You can browse an egg using zipimport.zimporter or try to use the "driver" in pkg_resources or, look at our PEP 376 prototype http://bitbucket.org/tarek/pep376. Although, dropping zipped eggs support is a good option too imho ;) Cheers Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
