Error No module named zlib

[Norman Rich]

I get this error when I try to  python manage.py migrate 

 import zlib
ImportError: No module named zlib


I have tried to install zlib and thought it went ok but still get this error. Please help.

zlib is part of the Python standard library. It should only be missing if your install of Python wasn't compiled with it.

What version of Python are you running, and on what platform?

I was using Fedora 21 on virtualbox and Python 2.7.9. This situation was driving me insane so I am now using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I still have Fedora too though. I only switched because I was using virtualbox and was only for testing purpose. Otherwise I would still be stuck. It works perfectly with Ubuntu. :D

A Google search for "python zlib fedora 21" suggests that fedora might be packaging zlib as a "python-gzipstream" package, try adding that to see if fedora likes it better.

Ahh well I was searching for zlib fedora and was basically getting links to what I already had. I didn't think to search for python zlib fedora 21.

Ok so I tried that still not working. I give up on getting it to work with Fedora. I am going to just stick with ubuntu and mark fedora as a linux distro that I won't try again. Thanks for the help.
