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

You need to install Python's header files (python-dev package in debian/ubuntu) to compile lxml. As well as libxml2, libxslt, libxml2-dev, and libxslt-dev:

apt-get install python-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
