New submission from Stephen Kelly <steve...@gmail.com>:
I tried to build python 3.7.0 from source.
I ran the PCBuild/build.bat script. That downloaded zlib to the external/
directory.
However, it does not seem to be built. When running I get:
python\3.7.0\lib\zipfile.py", line 646, in _check_compression
"Compression requires the (missing) zlib module")
RuntimeError: Compression requires the (missing) zlib module
I examined PCBuild/pcbuild.proj. It makes no mention of zlib, though it
mentions other externals.
I notice that Python 3.6.1 contained zlib in Modules/zlib instead of coming
from external/.
Presumably that source was moved, but the Windows-related scripts were not
updated.
