There is zlib support in Python, and it is used in Medusa already. ZServer does not call it, but the compression stuff is there.
There is one good reason not to use zlib though, Micro$oft Internet Distorter does not support content-encoding: gzip and for content-encoding: compress it expects data to be compressed using the Unix compress tool... (I think someone reported this already... oh well)
Hmm, how does mod_gzip compress it then? In every request I get from IE includes the "accept-encoding: gzip" string, and apache is sending it gzip-compressed back. Do you mean that the mod_gzip is compressing it different then zlib? mart(ijn)
