I'm trying to make ZopeX3 start faster by zipping up the "zope" directory. (Because this will be stored on a CD, having less data to read will make it quicker to start.)
The standard python zipimporter won't work with the ZopeX3 .pyd files, so zipextimporter came along at just the right time. However, it doesn't seem to work for me (Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32, Windows XP SP2). Sample script: ---- import zipextimporter zipextimporter.install() import sys print 'Hooks:\n', sys.path_hooks sys.path.append(r'C:\tmp\zope.zip') print 'Path:\n', sys.path # Try an innocuous import first to make sure we have the path correct. import zope.server print 'Server file:\n', zope.server.__file__ # Now try a .pyd import. import zope.thread._zope_thread print 'Thread file:\n', zope.thread._zope_thread.__file__ ---- Output: ---- Hooks: [<class 'zipextimporter.ZipExtensionImporter'>, <type 'zipimport.zipimporter'>] Path: ['C:\\tmp', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python23.zip', 'C:\\tmp', 'C:\\opt\\Python23\\DLLs', 'C:\\opt\\Python23\\lib', 'C:\\opt\\Python23\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\opt\\Python23\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\opt\\Python23', 'C:\\opt\\Python23\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\tmp\\zope.zip'] Server file: C:\tmp\zope.zip\zope\server\__init__.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "zei.py", line 15, in ? import zope.thread._zope_thread ImportError: No module named _zope_thread ---- The zope.zip file contains zope.thread: ---- $ unzip -l zope.zip |grep zope/thread 0 11-08-04 11:00 zope/thread/ 0 07-03-04 04:34 zope/thread/DEPENDENCIES.cfg 65 07-28-04 22:52 zope/thread/SETUP.cfg 994 07-03-04 04:34 zope/thread/tests.py 748 11-08-04 11:00 zope/thread/tests.pyc 748 11-08-04 11:00 zope/thread/tests.pyo 20480 11-07-04 00:54 zope/thread/_zope_thread.pyd 7838 08-17-04 17:20 zope/thread/__init__.py 7808 11-08-04 11:00 zope/thread/__init__.pyc 7808 11-08-04 11:00 zope/thread/__init__.pyo ---- What am I missing?
