[New-bugs-announce] [issue11501] distutils.archive_util should handle absence of zlib module

[Natalia B. Bidart]

New submission from Natalia B. Bidart <nataliabidart at gmail.com>:

When creating a zipfile, the code:

zip = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_filename, "w",
                      compression=zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)

does not handle the potential RuntimeError casued by:

"If ZIP_DEFLATED is specified but the zlib module is not available, RuntimeError is also raised."
