For applications that require data compression, the functions in this module
allow compression and decompression, using the zlib library. The zlib library
has its own home page at https://www.zlib.net. There are known
incompatibilities between the Python module and versions of the zlib library
earlier than 1.1.3; 1.1.3 has a `security vulnerability <https://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq33>`_, so we recommend using
1.1.4 or later.

zlib 1.2.2.0 was released in 2004: https://madler.net/pipermail/zlib-announce_madler.net/2004/000002.html. So it sounds reasonable to require this (old) version.
