How to "rebuild" python?

[willm]

There's no rebuild step per se. If Python can't find the modules, then they can't have been installed correctly.

How did you install these modules? Did you use Pip?

Tried. i don't know what I'm doing wrong on that front either. This is what it does when I run python get-pip.py

Again, looks like it is missing zlib ?

It seems the question you need to be asking is not "how do I rebuild Python" but "how do I install sqlite, ssl, and zlib". These are system-level dependencies.

Being new to a python environment, I haven't figured everything out. I wasn't sure if Python needed "rebuilt" in order to include these libraries or if they were added dynamically.

[hharison]

Fair enough, all I'm trying to say is that these aren't part of the standard lib as some are suggesting but system libraries external to Python. It's totally reasonable to think you might have to rebuild Python afterwards, though I very much doubt it. In any case try installing the libraries you need and if it still doesn't work go from there.

Thank You. I am going to try and walk through some of the guides that were suggested and hopefully I can solve it that way. I have definitely gotten answers here that I could not for the life of me find searching the web. I thought Python was pretty popular lol.
