Error in python while running androguard importing zlib

Question

I've been trying to run androguard on Ubuntu 13.10 I have downloaded the zlib library and placed it in the correct path While running the file apk.py , which has

from zlib import crc32

it returns an error saying

Cannot import name crc32

The zlib directory contains a file crc32.c and crc32.h along with crc32.o How can I fix the import error?

Answer 1

You need to delete or rename the zlib folder - otherwise python might try to import something from there instead of the stdlib package named zlib.
