Re: [Jython-dev] zip files on sys.path

[Samuele P. <pe...@in...>]

Hi. A silly question:

if foopkg is a package imported from a jar should:

# as with the patch
fookpkg.__path__ = [SyspathArchive('foo.jar')]

or

foopkg.__path__ = [SyspathArchiveXXX('foo.jar/foopkg')]

or

# vaguely inspired by jar: urls
foopkg.__path__ = [SyspathArchiveXXX('foo.jar!/foopkg')]

?

It's a matter of uniformity but maybe that's not that important.

Samuele. More later ...

PS: I write this before I forget about it:
in general (I mean across the various jvms), if ins is a stream
obtained from a ZipFile

ins.read(buf,len,av) != av

I have been already bitten a few times by that. Maybe that will improve
in the future. We should check if the old class/source reading code takes care 
of that.
