-# Test data for `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 Info-ZIP's zip utility
-installed (`apt install zip` on Debian).
-
-## Purpose
-
-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.
-
-## Updating the test executables
-
-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.
-
-### Standard old format (2.0) zip file
-
-```
-zip -0 zip2.zip testdata_module_inside_zip.py
-cat header.sh zip2.zip >exe_with_zip
-rm zip2.zip
-```
-
-### Modern format (4.5) zip64 file
-
-Redirecting from stdin forces Info-ZIP'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
-```
