Hi Swarnalatha,
the previous releases were build with 2.9.3, due to 2.9.4 having a bug regarding schema validation. Unfortunately, 2.9.3 has it's own bugs, too.
That discussion was then moved to this mailing list – unfortunately all of its web-accessible archives seem to be broken :(. If you have a newsreader, you can have a look at nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.lxml.devel. The thread title is "Should (Linux) binary wheels include libxml2/libxslt".
If you need a quick fix, you can just compile lxml yourself with your own version of libxml2 – that's what we ended up doing.
Team,
We are using lxml (lxml-3.3.4.win-amd64-py2.7) in my project which gets shipped with libxml2 2.9.0. We would like to upgrade libxml2 to 2.9.4 to mitigate security vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-4448
). For this upgrade we have to update lxml which has 2.9.4 libxml2. But latest lxml for 2.7 python 64 bit windows is having 2.9.3. Let me know how to solve the issue? Thanks.
Python version used: python-2.7.12.amd64.msi
