I'm opening this as a separate ticket. We don't currently support wheels, but like with importlib_resources we should. I'll do this after adding the 2.7 support, because... fun!

I was thinking about this one - what does it mean to support zip files? Is there a metadata format defined for zip files? Is this meant to support wheels? Eggs? Other zip files conforming to some spec/heuristic?

Yep, wheels. So if you create a wheel with python setup.py bdist_wheel and then put that .whl on PYTHONPATH then you should be able to pull the metadata out of the .dist-info directory inside the .whl.
