 - 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

+- PEP 302 has been accepted.  Although it was inititally developed to
+  support zipimport, it offers a new, general import hook mechanism.

 - A frame object's f_lineno attribute can now be written to from a
   trace function to change which line will execute next.  A command to
   exploit this from pdb has been added.  [SF patch #643835]
