zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available
There may very well be a bug here of the form of "zlib dependency is considered soft, but then something else breaks". However, in your current situation, my recommendation would be to install the zlib development libraries and retry the build. You may be able to get that with: $ sudo apt-get build-dep python3 or possibly search your package manager for "zlib*-dev" (on my Debian, it's zlib1g-dev). That should give you the full de/compression suite, which will in turn make ensurepip work. ChrisA
Hello.
We are sorry but we cannot help you. This mailing list is to work on
developing Python (adding new features to Python itself and fixing bugs);
if you're having problems learning, understanding or using Python, please
find another forum. Probably python-list/comp.lang.python mailing list/news
group is the best place; there are Python developers who participate in it;
you may get a faster, and probably more complete, answer there. See
http://www.python.org/community/ for other lists/news groups/fora. Thank
you for understanding.

Here is the report: patrick@ubuntu-MacBook:~/Programs/Python-3.6.0$ ./python -m test -v test_venv [skip] zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available
Seems yoy don't have zlib or haven't had zlib headers when you compiled python. Install zlib and zlib-dev packages and recompile python. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phdru.name/ phd@phdru.name Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
Oleg,
After installing a fresh zlib package from here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/zlib1g
I was able to build and install Python-3.6.0
seems to me if the zlib module sent out with the 3.6.0 release package
doesn't build (which it doesn't) then that's a bug.
thanks for your time,
Patrick

Please report such problems on our bug tracker: http://bugs.python.org/ In your case, Python doesn't appear to find the (right) libz shared library, which is a bit odd, but it's better to track this down on the tracker :-) On 16.02.2017 21:33, Patrick Wallinger wrote:
