New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
ZIP files created by distutils don't include entries for directories. For
example, if the directory structure is
dist/
file1.py
sub/
file2.py
the ZIP file will contain entries 'dist/file1.py' and 'dist/sub/file2.py', but
not 'dist/' and 'dist/sub/'.
This only when use the zipfile module. If it is not available for some reasons,
the zip command is used. In that case directory entries are created. The are
created also in TAR files.
All other methods of packing a tree to a ZIP in the stdlib
(shutil.make_archive(), zipfile CLI, zipapp, Tools/msi/make_zip.py) create
directory entries too.
zipimport doesn't support implicit namespace packages if directory entries are
not added (issue14905).
The proposed PR makes distutils adding directory entries in a ZIP file.
