It provides pre-compiled zlib binaries across multiple platforms (macOS, Linux x86_64, aarch64, and musl-based systems) so that cmeel-based packages can depend on zlib without requiring system installation or compilation.\n\nThis is primarily a build-time and packaging dependency rather than a library for direct use. If you are building a cmeel package that needs zlib, this wheel ensures consistent zlib availability across platforms. It has one runtime dependency: cmeel itself.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or maintaining a cmeel-based package that depends on zlib. No, if you need zlib for direct compression work in a standard Python application\u2014use the system zlib or a general-purpose compression library instead. The medium install friction and Python 3.10+ requirement are acceptable for cmeel workflows."},"id":"cmeel-zlib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cmeel-zlib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cmeel-zlib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cmeel-zlib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-20","license_spdx":"Zlib","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cmeel-zlib","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"cmeel distribution for zlib"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":798918,"position":5027,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.2"}
