Getting modules from a zip file?

Question

There is a module I'd love to download, but it is only available in a zip file, how do I get such a file to work properly in python, so That I can import what I want?

This is in Windows 7 BTW.

Answer 1

Just insert the whole path to the zipfile, c:/what/ever/itis.zip, in your sys.path, and import themodule (assuming it's at the top "level" of the zipfile's simulated directory-tree structure).
