New submission from Paul Moore: There appears to be a significant issue with importing from zip files on Python 3.3.4. I have tested this on Windows 7, 64-bit, using the MSI installer from python.org.
To reproduce, download virtualenv and extract the C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm\virtualenv_support\pip-1.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl file. Set PYTHONPATH to the full path of that wheel. python -c "import pip" should work without error, but I see PS 20:44 C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm >$env:PYTHONPATH="C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm\virtualenv_support\pip-1.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl" PS 20:49 C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm >C:\Apps\Python33\python.exe -c "import pip" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named 'pip' For comparison, the 32-bit version works perfectly: PS 20:44 C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm >$env:PYTHONPATH="C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm\virtualenv_support\pip-1.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl" PS 20:49 C:\Work\Scratch\virtualenv-pfm >C:\Apps\Python33\python.exe -c "import pip" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named 'pip' ---------- keywords: 3.3regression messages: 211170 nosy: georg.brandl, pmoore priority: critical severity: normal status: open title: Issue with zipimport in 3.3.4 type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
