When building Python 3.2.3 from source on Ubuntu 12.04, the zlib module is not available. I downloaded the official source distribution from python.org, and attempted to build and install it with the following commands. tar xfa Python3.2.3.tar.bz2 cd Python-3.2.3 ./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.2 make sudo make install The make command output includes the following. Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _curses _curses_panel _dbm _gdbm _sqlite3 _ssl _tkinter bz2 readline zlib After running make install and starting the interpreter, the zlib module cannot be imported. I confirmed that the zlib1g-dev package is installed on my system. I also found this similar question , which suggests adding the --with-zlib flag to the ./configure command. However, that returns an error that it is an unrecognized option and has no effect.
