I attached a reworked but untested patch for lxml. Could you try it?

I couldn't find the PyWeakref_LockObject() function anywhere. That's a
PyPy-only thing, right? I aliased it to (NULL) when compiling for CPython.

I'll go through the Cython changes next, so I haven't got a working Cython
version yet.
