test_zipfile
The test executables in this directory are created manually from header.sh and the testdata_module_inside_zip.py
file. You must have infozip's zip utility installed (apt install zip
on Debian).
These are used to test executable files with an appended zipfile, in a scenario where the executable is not a Python interpreter itself so our automatic zipimport machinery (that'd look for __main__.py
) is not being used.
If you update header.sh or the testdata_module_inside_zip.py file, rerun the commands below. These are expected to be rarely changed, if ever.
zip -0 zip2.zip testdata_module_inside_zip.py cat header.sh zip2.zip >exe_with_zip rm zip2.zip
Redirecting from stdin forces infozip's zip tool to create a zip64.
zip -0 <testdata_module_inside_zip.py >zip64.zip cat header.sh zip64.zip >exe_with_z64 rm zip64.zip
