Summary: The -m option to python does not search zip files
Initial Comment:
The -m option, to run a module from sys.path as a main
program, does not work when the module is in a zip file.
Here is an example demonstrating:
D:\Data>type zipmtest.py
def a():
print "Hello, world"
if __name__ == '__main__':
a()
D:\Data>python -m zipmtest
Hello, world
D:\Data>zip -9 zipm zipmtest.*
adding: zipmtest.py (92 bytes security) (deflated 8%)
D:\Data>set PYTHONPATH=zipm.zip
D:\Data>del zipmtest.py
Deleting D:\Data\zipmtest.py
1 file deleted
D:\Data>python -m zipmtest
python: module zipmtest not found
D:\Data>python -c "import zipmtest"
(note the last import - python can find the zipmtest
module quite happily, but -m misses it).
This is a fairly severe limitation on -m, particularly as
use of "egg" distributions (which are basically zipfiles)
becomes more common.
