How do you install lxml on OS X Leopard without using MacPorts or Fink?

Question

I\'ve tried this and run in to problems a bunch of times in the past. Does anyone have a recipe for installing lxml on OS X without MacPorts or Fink that definitely works?<

Answer 1

I compile it in /usr/local without any issues whatsoever.

Install Python, libxml2, libxslt and then lxml. You might need setuptools installed too.
