par files?

[Russell Lear]

In java there are .jar files so I'm wondering if Python has anything similar
- .par files perhaps?

I know jar files have their limitations and shortcomings, but being able to
bundle together a bunch of related python files with various resource files
seems like a handy thing to have.

Thanks,
Russell.

Hello Russell,

Python (since 2.2 I think) can import from zip files (jar files are zip
files).
Just add the zip file name to sys.path and you're done.

Bye.
