[lxml-dev] easy_install issues

I'm having trouble installing any version of lxml higher than 1.3.3. The error says that easy_install can't find a proper version of dateutil, even though I have a high enough version of "python-dateutil" installed on this system. I assume that the issue has to do with "dateutil" vs. "python-dateutil", but I'm not sure. FWIW, I'm running ubuntu gutsy. Thanks in advance! P. F.

Hi, just in case this is still an issue: P.F. Hawkins wrote:
lxml doesn't need dateutil, so this looks like a setuptools problem. The distutils-sig would be the right place to ask. Are you sure the package is installed for the correct Python version? - just in case you have, say, Py 2.4 and 2.5 installed in parallel. Have you tried reinstalling the "python-dateutil" package?

That shouldn't be a problem as it won't change the name of the Python package. Stefan
