File::S...::pyzip(3)

Ok bestie, this is File::S...::pyzip(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it’s literally about Python and .zip files. Buckle up 🫶

🌸 ABOUT 🌸

Python supports running .zip'd .py files — no cap, it’s a whole thing:

$ cat __main__.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
print("Hello World")
$ zip pyzip.zip __main__.py
$ head -1 __main__.py | cat - pyzip.zip > pyzip
$ chmod a+x pyzip

These little cuties require special handling to not mangle the shebang — protect the shebang at all costs 💅

✨ DEPRECATION PLAN ✨

The deprecation plan? Lowkey unclear, because after all, many tools can generate these .zip files. So yeah, it’s giving “we’ll see” energy 😭
