web: Use importlib to load static web ressources
mhthies opened this issue · comments
Goal is, to make SHC "zip_safe", i.e. make it executable directly from an unextracted wheel-package. This requires to load ressource files in a way that transparently extracts them from from the package if required, e.g. importlib.ressources.
For reference, see

However, I'm not sure if this is possible with our current approach of serving our static web ressources from a single static directory (see shc/web/interface.py:112).
