I am running into problems trying to: \python24\python setup.py install I changed the following in setup.py: #include_dirs = guess_dirs('--cflags', '-I') #library_dirs = guess_dirs('--libs', '-L') # if you want to configure include and library dir manually, you can do # so here, for instance: include_dirs = [r'C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\libxslt-1.1.14.win32\include',] # '/home/faassen/tmp/local_new/include'] library_dirs = [r'C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\libxml2-2.6.20.win32\lib'] But I am getting an error that I need .net SDK (error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building extensions f or Python.). Did I not change the setup.py correctly or do I really need the .net SDK. Any chance that there is a binary build for Windows XP is available? See you Werner
