that's usually a non-critical warning.

from your Python 2.4 build, perhaps.

Python 2.4 itself definitely supports zlib/zipfile.  e.g.

    Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
    on win32
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import zlib
    >>> import zipfile

I suggest checking with whoever built Python for you.
