One more interesting thing -- PEAK (Python Enterprise Application  
Kit) allows to zipimport resources. It returns a file-like object,  
which could be used to read images. Zip-resources in PEAK are  
accessed via special calls [for example `config.packageFile 
("my.package.in.zip", "mypicture.jpg")`], which could locate package  
and than file in that package and return readable (you can't write in  
such resources) file-like object. Starting from python24 it works  
greatly even with zips.
