When running buildout in mailman-bundler, it generally creates a
virtualenv of its own, which might not have 'zlib not installed in it.
Just look for the virtualenv that gives this error(it could be venv-3.4,
that bundler makes for running mailman in), activate that, and install
'zlib in there.

I am not sure where is this error coming from, but for general python
projects, this is a general solution.
