Re: Problem running Zenmap on OS X 10.10

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Jacob,

Thanks for this bug report! This error comes from a Python binary that was
not built with zlib (zip) support. I am fairly certain that the Python we
bundle *does* have this support, so maybe our app is using your system's
Python instead of the bundled one. Can you provide the output of these
commands?:

which python
python -c 'import zlib; print zlib.__version__'

I will work on figuring out how to ensure that the Zenmap app uses the
bundled Python instead of the system Python.
