I believe zlib.pyd is statically linked into python27.dll nowadays. Some things to check: Can you import from zip files when running the Python.exe interpreter? Is the zip file included in sys.path? You might need to add this yourself after callying Py_Initialize(). Is there a top-level directory in the zip file that may be throwing the importer off? Are you getting any sort of error message? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
