Installing lxml, libxml2, libxslt on Windows 8.1

Question

After additional exploration, I found a solution to installing lxml with pip and wheel. Additional comments on approach welcomed.

I\'m finding the existing Python

Answer 1

My situation was a lot like this. I have Python 3.4 installed on my Laptop for work, and we're in a tight security, so I can't just install 3.5 without getting system admin to do it.

So I hit up Python Extension site here:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml

Pulled the wheel file for lxml that matched my specs:

lxml-3.6.4-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

And then just typed:

pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

And it installed right away.
