Zlib problem on Windows XP??

Hi all,

When using the latest Python 2.2.x releases as well as the Python 2.3
betas and rc1 on Win XP, I cannot import zlib. When I try, I get an
error about the dynamic module not having an 'initzlib' symbol. The
strange thing is that this problem seems to be XP-specific - on Windows
2K I do not get this error. I've installed Python 2.2.3 on two XP
machines with the same results. I installed the latest beta on one of
the machines, but the results were the same. (Haven't tried RC1 yet.)

Does anyone else see this problem? I thought it was something I had
done at first, but I haven't built Python myself and the error occurs
right after installation, so I'm stuck as to what could be happening.

Thanks!

Kevin

Unable to find a more elegant solution, I copied the file from my Python 2.2 directory into my Python 2.4 directory. When running my Python script it gives a warning: ...

Hi, Not sure if this is a proper ng to post this question. Is here anybody who has used zlib? I downloaded 1.2.1 of zlib from www.gzip.org/zlib (for windows 98/nt/2000/xp), and used it in my program to zip/unzip files. When I use the zipper class in zlib to zip a folder, I got a zip file with the SAME SIZE of zip file created (on the same folder) with the 'ZipTest' program downloaded from the site. But the problem is that the zip file...

Sorry, I realized that the import zlib was not executed from my (working) service. So here is the question: why can't I use zlib from a win32 service? Is there any way to make it working? >------------- >Python could not import the service's module > File "T:\Python\Projects\NamedConnector\Service.py", line 17, in ? > from Processor import * > File "c:\Python\Projects\NamedConnector\Processor.py", line 35, in ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
