Pypy3 lxml support - please help

Hi, In our firm we are developing on python 3.4, and from performance issues, we have been trying to see if we we can run our code with pypy3, I couldn't seem to fine a solution for the lxml package, the pypy implementation - lxml-cffi is only for python 2.x, and when installing lxml, it is also seems to work only for python 2.x, and the following error is printed when trying to import: from lxml import etree File "src/lxml/xmlschema.pxi", line 22, in init lxml.etree (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:231895) File "src/lxml/xpath.pxi", line 420, in lxml.etree.XPath.__init__ (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:173999) File "src/lxml/xpath.pxi", line 150, in lxml.etree._XPathEvaluatorBase.set_context (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:170398) File "src/lxml/xpath.pxi", line 66, in lxml.etree._XPathContext.set_context (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:169176) File "src/lxml/extensions.pxi", line 255, in lxml.etree._BaseContext.registerLocalFunctions (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:160400) AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems' thank you! --

This used to be a known problem with Cython: https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/1631 . It has been fixed in Cython 0.26. The issue here is that lxml comes with pre-Cythonized files produced by Cython 0.25.2. Apart from waiting for the next release of lxml, you could manually install lxml. To do so, download the source, and run: pypy3 -m pip install cython pypy3 setup.py build --with-cython # forced re-Cythonize pypy3 setup.py install A bientôt, Armin.
