cmeel-zlib

What it is and what it does

cmeel-zlib is a wheel distribution of zlib 1.3.2 packaged for the cmeel build system. 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.

This 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.

Use it for:

• Building cmeel packages that require zlib compression functionality without relying on system zlib
• Cross-platform wheel builds where zlib availability varies across target systems
• Ensuring reproducible builds of cmeel-based projects by pinning zlib version to 1.3.2

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides zlib 1.3.2 as a pre-built wheel for use within cmeel-based Python packages, enabling compression and decompression without requiring system zlib installation.

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—use the system zlib or a general-purpose compression library instead. The medium install friction and Python 3.10+ requirement are acceptable for cmeel workflows.

Install

cmeel-zlib on PyPI

pip install cmeel-zlib

uv add cmeel-zlib

poetry add cmeel-zlib

Installing cmeel-zlib

Before you install

Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (macOS x86_64/arm64, Linux x86_64/aarch64, musl variants). Active maintenance with recent commits; last release 86 days ago. Requires Python 3.10 or later.

License in practice

Licensed under Zlib (permissive), allowing use in both open-source and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions; no copyleft obligations.

Quickstart

pip install cmeel-zlib

import cmeel
# zlib is available within cmeel's build environment

Requires Python 3.10 or later; intended for use within cmeel-based package builds rather than standalone compression tasks.

Verify before relying

• Whether this package is intended for end-user direct installation or primarily as a transitive dependency of cmeel packages
• API surface and whether it exposes zlib functions directly or only through cmeel's build system
