Whoa - nobody said that in-Python APIs of this nature shouldn't be improved (as Christian says he's already done with this one). I was pointing out that there are also third-party APIs that we don't control which people will want to use, meaning that the need [for an API] to copy in-zip resources to the file system will be around for quite some time.
