Hi Arun, Sorry for my earlier post arriving 'a day after the fair', it got delayed by moderator policy (check its timestamp).
This is a generic problem - not something specific to either ReportLab or Pisa. Zipping a library is a matter of choice during deployment - why should that affect the source code of each module depending on the library? In Python documentation, I noticed 2 ways to globally expand sys.path, without having to adjust individual .py files: 1. PYTHONPATH environment variable 2. .pth files However, I doubt if either one is available to GAE application developers. If not, then adjusting the Pisa sources is your only option, sorry. IMHO, zipimporter is nice, but immature - I would rather have a more transparent approach. An API layer on top of the filesystem that hides the difference between ZIP files and 'real' folders (much like 'compressed folders' in Windows), not only for import statements but for regular file access as well.
