Python module installation error

Question

I tried to install a module named tushare, I have tried 3 methods: pip, easy_install and setup.py install, they all have the same error:

ImportError: No module named lxml.html

pip:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install tushare
Collecting tushare
  Using cached tushare-0.6.8.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lxml'

I have installed python 2.7 and 3.0 on Windows 10, worked on IDLE, no IDE, how can I fix it?

Then I installed lxml:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install lxml

error:

  ** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **
  Could not find function xmlCheckVersion in library libxml2. Is libxml2 installed?

I could not use pip to install libxml2 and libxslt.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install libxml2
Collecting libxml2
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libxml2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for libxml2

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install libxslt
Collecting libxslt
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libxslt (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for libxslt

What could I do next?

Answer 1

Have you tried installing lxml ? It seems that all the tracebacks point to not having a module called lxml . Try typing into your terminal prompt: pip install lxml . lxml installs perfectly for me. EDIT:

Looks like libxml2 is not available in pip. I found another stackoverflow question . It seems like they are having the same problems you are. The best part is: if you follow the prebuilt binaries link (which I have conveniently linked here for you), there are downloads for lxml with libxml2 and libsxlt bundled in!
