I'm using a server for which I am not root, and I have several scripts requiring Python 3.4.1. I built the software from the source tarball using the following syntax
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
$ make
$ make install
The software installed successfully, as I was able to launch python3 after modifying my .bash_profile to look in $HOME/bin. However, Pip was not so lucky.
$ pip3.4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/scnorton/bin/pip3.4", line 7, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name 'main'
When I tried to run python3 get-pip.py, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "get-pip.py", line 17474, in <module>
main()
File "get-pip.py", line 17466, in main

File "get-pip.py", line 17406, in bootstrap
import pip
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available
I have checked the /usr/lib64 directory and concluded that zlib is installed on the server. I even executed the command module load zlib-1.2.8-1 and tried reinstalling pip again, with no luck. Could the problem be that Python3.4.1 is installed as a 32-bit application? If so, where can I go to get 64-bit Python3.4.1 for Linux?
