New submission from Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org>:
We have a pile of conditionals and extra code in CPython to deal with building on systems that do not have zlib. The zlib C library has been around forever at this point and should be present on every system in the world. zlib is already required on Windows to build CPython. Proposal: simplify our code by removing the conditionals around zlib being optional. I'm attaching a draft PR to show what this would look like. ---------- assignee: gregory.p.smith components: Build, Extension Modules, Library (Lib) messages: 415750 nosy: gregory.p.smith priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Make zlib required on all platforms (simplifies code) versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47090> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
