cmeel-zlib
cmeel distribution for zlib
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
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.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; intended for use within cmeel-based package builds rather than standalone compression tasks.
- 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.

- API surface and whether it exposes zlib functions directly or only through cmeel's build system
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
