I am trying to install lxml from they python package index as suggested in the question below, as I run into the same problem as the original author. original question: Install libxml2 and associated python bindings - Windows Package index: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.4.1

I have python 3.4.1 installed and am on a Windows 7 machine.

I have tried downloading a couple of the Windows installers, as I'm not sure which one is right for me. They all give the error that I don't have Python ## installed. For example, when I try the "lxml-3.4.1.win32-py3.2.exe (md5)" download it says "Python version 3.2 required, which was not found on the registry."

Is there a link on there that I should be using that I just can't see right now? Or am I missing a pre-req?

Thanks!

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml had the correct link for me, which is lxml‑3.4.1.win‑amd64‑py3.4.exe

I used that installer and then, because I'm using PyCharm, also added it as an interpreter.

Make sure you are installing LXML for the same architecture as the version of python you have installed. E.g. Python for amd64 requires lxml for amd64.

  • This was actually the solution to the same issue I ran into just a couple weeks ago. I figured when I found the answer to the same question I had, I could share it as an answer. I understand that my post would have been more appropriate in the comment section, but I'm curious what kind of answer would have been appropriate as a response to this post, since it's similar to the other answer which you didn't reply to, and actual solutions don't seem to be acceptable. – Corrigat Jan 09 '15 at 22:41
