I tried to build python 3.7.0 from source.

I ran the PCBuild/build.bat script. That downloaded zlib to the external/ directory.

However, it does not seem to be built. When running I get:

python\3.7.0\lib\zipfile.py", line 646, in _check_compression                                                                                                                       "Compression requires the (missing) zlib module")                                                                                                                                                                RuntimeError: Compression requires the (missing) zlib module  

I examined PCBuild/pcbuild.proj. It makes no mention of zlib, though it mentions other externals.

I notice that Python 3.6.1 contained zlib in Modules/zlib instead of coming from external/.

Presumably that source was moved, but the Windows-related scripts were not updated.
