What would speak against compiling host-python with zlib support? I think we'll need it for host-setuputils anyway. AFAIK python-dpkt seems to be neglected for quite a while. Though I submitted a bug report: http://code.google.com/p/dpkt/issues/detail?id=82, I don't think it will be accepted shortly. 

Should I prepare a patch for host-python with zlib support?

Best regards,
