New submission from flying sheep:
currently, zipapp’s notion of __main__.py is very different from the usual.
the root directory of a zipapp is not a module, therefore __init__.py isn’t
used and relative imports from __main__.py don’t work.
i propose that the zipapp functionality is amended/changed to
1. allow more than one target directory (bundle multiple modules)
2. allow creation of a __main__.py that contains a runpy-powered module runner
so maybe we could specify the module itself as entry point to get this behavior
zipapp -m my_module dependency.py my_module
should create
my_module.pyz
├ __main__.py → ...runpy.run_module('my_module')
├ dependency.py
└ my_module
├ __init__.py
└ __main__.py → from . import ...
or there would be another option to specify it.
