Usually, an extension module is build automatically during the Python generation (from source) when its preconditions are met. This usually means, that the relevant development packages are installed. In your case, this would mean the "zlib" development package. I expect (but did not verify) that a Python rebuild+reinstall after the "zlib" development package installation will make Python "zlib" module available (in this Python installation). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
