Installation fails because zlib is not installed

[MagnusOffermanns]

I am failing to install PyExFill with pip (pip install --user PyExfil) but it fails due to the following error:

➜  pip install --user PyExfil

ERROR: Cannot install pyexfil==1.10.4 and pyexfil==1.3 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    pyexfil 1.10.4 depends on zlib
    pyexfil 1.3 depends on zlib

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

The zlib library is a module from the standard library (link) and i have installed both packages (zlib1g zlib1g-dev) recommended by different stack overflow questions. So the requirement should be fulfilled.

Info about my system:

• Kali on WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux)

VERSION_ID="2023.3"
VERSION="2023.3"
VERSION_CODENAME=kali-rolling

• Python version: Python 3.11.2

Hey @MagnusOffermanns . Thanks for this.
Issue was supposed to be fixed on Python3 due to requirements3.txt. Python2 does need the zlib import but on 3 it's built in. Can you kindly confirm?

Unfortunately, I am still encountering the problem. I am installing PyExfill in a new environment.

I have updated my Python to:

• Python 3.11.9

Bump. I'm having this same issue trying to pip install the package.
