“sadly it requires lxml”: Excuse me, did I and others write this extremely powerful and featureful Python XML library for people now to be *sad* when an application requires it?

Hey Martijn, I am sure lxml is a great tool; I did not need it so far, that is i simply didn’t make it through the source installation procedure (http://codespeak.net/lxml/installation.html) until now. So this is just my opinion, really shouldn’t have been included with the link.

We’ve been trying to make the lxml installation procedure as easy as possible, but given a dependency on a C library it’s always going to be harder than pure Python. There’s always room for improvement, too.
What platform are you on? easy_install lxml should download and install it from sources automatically if you’re on a Linux machine, if you have non-ancient libxml2 and libxslt libraries + development headers.
