Installing lxml module in python

Question

while running a python script, I got this error

  from lxml import etree
ImportError: No module named lxml

now I tried to install lxml

Answer 1

Just do:

sudo apt-get install python-lxml

For Python 2 (e.g., required by Inkscape):

sudo apt-get install python2-lxml

If you are planning to install from source, then albertov's answer will help. But unless there is a reason, don't, just install it from the repository.
