zip-safe
Domain: Pure Python Packages
🎯 Motivation
A flag indicating a package can run directly from inside a .zip without being extracted to disk. Rarely used today but historically important.
📋 Concrete Example
Set zip_safe = False in setup config if your package reads files with __file__ paths at runtime.
🔗 Analogy
zip-safe is a waterproof container — if marked safe, your gear works even when packed tight and wet.
