New submission from Florent Xicluna <florent.xicl...@gmail.com>:
When Python is compiled without zlib support, the error message is not very
helpful when trying to untar an archive.
>>> tarfile.open('sample.tar.gz')
tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully
It happens when you run "python distribute_setup.py", for example.
