No, it doesn't. > This is because zipimport can only import from file paths. It can import from a file, and the file (like all zipfiles) can have a prefix. That prefix is where you put the "boot" script. See http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/215301 (though I believe I did some minor enhancements, as well as adding useful discussion, in the 2nd edition of the O'Reilly printed version of the cookbook, Raedler's basic idea is presented here; you can get all the sources as they appear in the printed version as an archive, a zipfile I believe, on the O'Reilly site for the book). > Anders Hammarquist has a Python Cookbook example that seems to do what > I want. > "Importing a Dynamically Generated Module". So far so good. I have to > check it out a bit more. I know Anders (known to his friends as "Iko") quite well, worked at his side in Sweden in past years, and I selected his recipe for the first edition of the O'Reilly printed version of the Cookbook -- but it does not address the specific problem you desire. Raedler's recipe does. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
