Correct. That's a limitation of the Windows operating system, which can load DLLs only from plain, regular files. Python can load .py files from zip files because it implements the loading itself. For DLL loading, it must use the OS routines, which just don't look into zipfiles. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
