Tell what version of zlib python was built with

How can I tell what version of the C library python's zlib module was built with?

Specifically, I want to tell whether it was a new enough version to support ZLIB_RSYNC=1

This is different than the version of the zlib python module, but instead the version of the underlying C library

For c(Recommended):

cat > get_zlib_version.c << EOF
#include<stdio.h>
#include<zlib.h>

int main()
{
    printf("%s", ZLIB_VERSION);
    return 0;
}
EOF

gcc get_zlib_version.c -o get_zlib_version && ./get_zlib_version

For Python 2.x:

# only show zlib version used for building the module, this may be different from the zlib library actually used at runtime
python -c "import zlib; print(zlib.ZLIB_VERSION)"

For Python 3.x:

# The version string of the zlib library actually loaded by the interpreter.
python -c "import zlib; print(zlib.ZLIB_RUNTIME_VERSION)"

Try the command below to see whether the zlib Python package is available and which version it has:

  • For Python 2.x:
python -c "import zlib; print(zlib.__version__)"
  • For Python 3.x:
python3 -c "import zlib; print(zlib.__version__)"

It is zlib.ZLIB_VERSION:

>>> import zlib
>>> zlib.ZLIB_VERSION
'1.2.7'
