Core and builtins
-----------------
+- Import from zipfiles is now supported. The name of a zipfile placed
+ on sys.path causes the import statement to look for importable
+ Python modules (with .py, pyc and .pyo extensions) and packages
+ inside the zipfile. To support this, several new variables have
+ been added to the sys module: sys.meta_path, sys.path_hooks, and
+ sys.path_importer_cache; these make extending the import statement
+ much more convenient than overriding the __import__ built-in
+ function. For a description of these, see PEP 302. The zipfile
+ import follows the specification (though not the sample
+ implementation) of PEP 273. The semantics of __path__ are
+ compatible with those that have been implemented in Jython since
+ Jython 2.1.
