You can put the shebang line at the beginning of the zip file, and zip will complain about it but will still unpack the file, but it won't be runnable as Python won't recognize it as a zip anymore. Now if you could, say, put in "#!/usr/bin/env pythonz" (and then implement a pythonz command that could do useful stuff) then that might work. Though generally #! is so broken that it's really hard to come up with a reasonable option for these cases. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org
