Try this:

>>> import urllib, zipfile, cStringIO
>>> zipwebfile = 
>>> urllib.urlopen('http://downloads.egenix.com/python/locale-0.1.zip')
>>> buffer = cStringIO.StringIO(zipwebfile.read())
>>> zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(buffer)
>>> zfile.printdir()

The trick is to use a StringIO buffer to provide the .seek()
method.
