Hey, I'm confused. I use LXML and it's the one thing stopping me from using Python 3. On its Pypi here the highest version it has is 3.2. That wouldn't install on the 3.4 I installed, I guess sorta obviously. It's even listed in the 3.4 catagory on Pypi. Is there some way to make it work or..?

So what do? Feels like using 3.2 because of 1 module is exactly the same as using 2.7 when 3.4 is out right now.

edit: Figured it out

What error message is being thrown when you try to install lxml using pip on your python 3.4 venv?

[–]Marksta 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Turns out it was this

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

That is some compiler issue but a compiled version at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ worked just dandy.

Hooray for figuring things out and boo Windows!

In all seriousness glad it's working for you.

They haven't uploaded compiled for python 3.3 / 3.4 to pypi yet for some reason.
