beautifulsoup won't recognize lxml

Question

I\'m attempting to use lxml as the parser for BeautifulSoup because the default one is MUCH slower, however i\'m getting this error:

    soup =          


        

Answer 1

It looks like lxml has not been successfully installed. To install lxml on Ubuntu, run

sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2

In virtualenv:

pip install --upgrade lxml
pip install cssselect
