This bootstrapping code is generated by setuptools to deal with loading extension modules in zip files. It does some unholy things to make this work. I'd really like to find a way to suppress this. In general, I find deploying as zip files to be an anti-feature. In seems especially insane when extension modules are involved. > Unfortunately the code (in this case in zope.i18nmessageid.Message) > does the following which doesn't deal with the Exception > raised by the app engine runtime.

How hard would it be to just remove the wrapper script when deploying to app engine?
