The main feature I'd like to see would be an easy installer that include lxml's dependencies, maybe using easy_install. It's a complex project and the installation is easy to get wrong.
Hmm, I'm not quite sure what could be done better here. What you'd have to do for 0.9 is:
* install libxml2 and libxslt (which lxml can't do for you)
Why not? Other python extensions install their dependencies.
Stephan already answered this, but I'll jump in -- I actually looked for a bit at setuptools last year in the hope it could tackle this problem, but there wasn't much that could help there... So, yeah, we're aware that this can be a problem, but it's not easy to fix unfortunately. Contributions in that department are of course very welcome. Regards, Martijn
