[lxml-dev] AAAAAARGGHHH!!!
AAAAAARGGHH!!! I just installed the latest version of an SDK I'm using and they are now based on Python 2.6.x!!!! I guess I'll have to go back to the previous version of the SDK. <sigh>. I'm noticing *here <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.2.6>* that the hold up for a 2.6-compatible distribution of lxml is the wait for a new build of libxml as 2.7.6 generates some crashes. Is that still the case? Manu

Well, lxml *is* Py2.6 compatible, just like it runs in Py2.3 and Py3.1. If you are referring to Windows binaries, Sidnei is actually trying to build binaries based on libxml2 2.7.3 now, as that currently seems to be the best-behaving version. He ran into some problems, though, that I need to look into. They'll eventually become available. Stefan

Ooops, I omitted that detail, didn't I? Yes, unfortunately I'm stuck in Windows' world for now... =P

Thank you both then! Looking forward to the new release! Manu
