Not at all. But pkgutil does,
Ah, OK.
and uses to get a dirlist,
Couldn't one just open the zip file with zipfile to get the directory list? Is there any real requirement that the cache must be used?
so I guess a new API should be created in zipimport to handle this case
as well. (I think it's some setuptools code originallyt, that landed in
pkgutil)
Probably.
