(Get the code!)
I've no particular objection to switching to reading compiled zoneinfo files at runtime rather than converting the files into Python classes. I've never seen the existing implementation as a problem so never bothered to work on alternatives.
We want to ensure that:
- Startup performance is the same or better
- Memory footprint is the same or better
- tarball and egg file sizes are the same or smaller
- Old pickles can still be unpickled
- It works on all architectures.
