>From the ImageFont module in PIL 1.1.3:
def load_path(filename):
"Load a font file, searching along the Python path."
for dir in sys.path:
try:
return load(os.path.join(dir, filename))
except IOError:
pass
raise IOError, "cannot find font file"
(this is fixed in 1.1.4)
FWIW, I've done lots of stuff that scans sys.path directories for
various purposes. It would probably be a good idea to use a string
subclass for the zip importer, but I don't think we need to make
stringness an absolute requirement.
Let's make it *really* easy to use zip archives, and reasonably easy
to use other custom importers.
