python: unable to import gzip or bz2 compression modules

[GoogleCodeExporter]

gzip is there, but import fails:

>>> import gzip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/lib/python2.7/gzip.py", line 9, in <module>
    import zlib
ImportError: No module named zlib

bz2 is just not there:

>>> import bz2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named bz2

This makes the tarfile module less functional because it cannot handle gzip or 
bz2 compressed tar files (which are pretty standard).  Uncompressed tarballs 
seem to work ok with tarfile.open

The zlib module is there is current builds.

bz2 should be there for glibc builds since it will be loaded dynamically, I'll 
try to add bz2 to the static newlib python build too.
