I ended up using the Enthought distribution 2.7, which is free for me because I'm an academic. I did wrestle lxml into another version of Python 2.7, but it's a real blessing not to have to worry about this in the first place. So anything that makes the installation easier is a good thing Martin Mueller Professor of English and Classics Northwestern University On 10/10/12 2:28 PM, "Stefan Behnel" <stefan_ml@behnel.de> wrote:

Hi,

given the number of MacOS-X related "doesn't work" complaints on the launchpad tracker, I wonder if recent versions of MacOS-X still need to have libxml2, libxslt and libiconv linked in statically. I would guess that the system libraries might have been lifted to a less broken and thus usable level at some point. Is that so? What do Mac users think?
