Files created by
git archiveare not understood by the Python interpreter. This could be caused by the additional comment (for the commit hash) in the file.echo 'print(1)' > __main__.py
git init && git add __main__.py && git commit -m init
git archive --format=zip HEAD > y.zip
python y.zip
Packing it with
zip x.zip __main__.py && python x.zipworks.bitdancer commentedon Sep 1, 2014
You are correct. zipimport does not support zip files with comments. There is already an open issue (bpo-5950) for adding support for this.
