recursive imports: having foo.zip as the first thing in sys.path,
and having a compressed zlib.py in there was indeed the
case I was thinking of (without actually trying).
GC: It is absolutely necessary. If this is not done now,
somebody will spend days of research five years from now,
because somebody else thought that invoking .update on this
files attribute was a good idea. This could be reduced to C-
level documentation if the dictionary was not exposed to
Python.
builtin: I think it ought to be builtin. It's a small module, it
does not rely on additional libraries, it is not maintained
externally, and it reduces bootstrap dependencies to have it
builtin. OTOH, zlib can't be builtin, as it relies on an
additional library which may not always be present.
get_long: you are right; the 0xff does make the values
positive, again. I somehow thought the result might still be
negative.
