I also found this an interesting idea, first.
But then, how would this (working) code have to be written with the
new imp.find_module() function:
def get_exe_bytes (self):
# wininst.exe is in the same directory as this file
directory = os.path.dirname(__file__)
filename = os.path.join(directory, "wininst.exe")
return open(filename, "rb").read()
