[lxml-dev] lxml on Windows - hints?
Hi there,
Being uplifted by Martijns presentation of lxml at EuroPython I really would love to move away from DOM XML-handling and use this beauty instead.
However, I can't figure out to build it on Windows. I've been playing with MinGW but feel like walking in the dark.
Any hints (such as: _can_ you use MinGW at all for this), succes stories or even better: prebuilded pyd/dlls ?

Hi.
It was very easy to build lxml for windows, that requied some minor tweaks in setup.py
I put prebuild package on my site:
http://cyberzoo.ru/lxml/lxml-0.7.win32-py2.3.exe
That was build with MSVC 7.1 and works fine with Python 2.3

Hi,
I just wanted to jump in and let you know that last week I had an email discussion with Martijn and it was decided that over the next couple weeks we are going to put prebuilt Windows packages and place them on the website. The packages will be easy to use and will contain both lxml and the necessary .dlls (libxml2, libxslt, etc.)
Here is a portion of our email for your information.
Regards,
Anthony
...I'd like to make it as easy as possible for Windows users to install lxml. This means that it should be easy to install libxml2 as well. The binaries I found for it require the installation of .dll files somewhere...
