Hi:

I have the following problem with Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop and Xandros on the EEE ASUS. I am trying to install PyAMF-0.3.1

python setup.py install

Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 6, in <module> use_setuptools() File "/home/afrancis/Public/PyAMF-0.3.1/ez_setup.py", line 91, in use_setuptools import setuptools; setuptools.bootstrap_install_from = egg zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available

Looks like you're missing python-zlib or some such Ubuntu package. Dunno what it'd actually be called, that's just a guess at the name.

I don't see a python-zlib in the Hardy distribution.

import zlib zlib

Reinstall that package and find out what caused that file to go away.
