When embedding Python into C++, Py_Initialize() crashes with following errors if the standard library (python33\lib) is in a zip archive (e.g. python33.zip):

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

This seems to be specific to Python 3.3.4: works fine with 3.3.2 and 3.3.3, not tested with other versions. Tested only on Windows.

This is most likely a duplicate of Issue20621.  A fix for the problem is the primary motivation for a new maintenance release for which a release candidate is now available.  It would be great if you could test with 3.3.5rc2 and confirm that the problem no longer occurs with it.

Just checked - confirming that it works with 3.3.5rc2.
