title: Python3: no gzip or zlib?
body: <p>is this module named something else now?  I can't seem to find any info saying that this module was deprecated or dropped completely.  (which would confuse me further)</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know where this went?</p>
  
  <pre>
  Python 3.1.2 (r312:79147, May 20 2010, 09:09:30)
  [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import gzip
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in 
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.1/gzip.py", line 9, in 
      import zlib
  ImportError: No module named zlib
  </pre>
  
  <p>UPDATE:  I found this in the source bundle i used Python-3.1.2/Modules/zlib/ChangeLog
  The last change was in 2005 and it doesn't mention anything telling.</p>
  
  <pre>
                  ChangeLog file for zlib
