I think if you opened library.zip in a zip utility, and then deleted
msgeditor.pyo and added msgeditor.py it would use the patched form.

You can download and run from source, but that would probably also
require getting you a python install, and some dependencies, etc.

You should probably backup library.zip before trying it, to make it easy
to restore.
