安装libxml2和相关的python绑定 - Windows

Question

I am attempting to install libxml2 so that I can setup the python bindings and eventually use lxml.

However I am unable to work out here on earth I am supposed to be unzipping the files. I haven't been able to google successfully.

Do I need Cygwin/MinGW for the installation to be successful?

At the moment I have the files from the libxml2.tar.gz and libxslt.tar.gz in their respective directories within my Python folder. So files that were in the tars under include are in Python26\\include\\libxml2\\libxml... and so on.

however when i run a easy_install lxml i receive the following output:

Searching for lxml

** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

Any help whatsoever would be very helpful as I've been trying to get this going for over a week now :(

Thanks

Answer 1

最新版本的lxml（以及各种其他Python包）的Windows二进制文件可在http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/上找到。

Answer 2

如果没有特殊原因需要从源代码编译，可以使用预构建的二进制文件用于lxml

Answer 3

Realize this is an old topic but have had issues installing this on windows.

I have Python version 3.4.4.

When attempting to install whl files make sure you are using the correct version for your version of python.

so in this case i needed to use

lxml‑3.4.4‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl

and not the latest which was

lxml‑3.4.4‑cp35‑none‑win_amd64.whl

cp34 indicates the python version its built for.

Trap for new players...!

Answer 4

如果您使用的是python 2.5.x，只需使用“ easy_install lxml == 2.2.2 ”进行安装即可

Answer 5

It appears that the program "xslt-config" is not located in a directory in your PATH environment. Here's an article on setting PATH on Windows:
