LXML neither downloading nor binding in Windows 10

Question

This is problem I get. Went to a link this forum suggested, downloaded new version, hit it. Will not bind to LXML or claim the drives. Not sure what to do.

Even downloaded Visual Studio, downloaded the version of C++ even though I had 14.2, wants 14.0.

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

I'm super sad and want to give up, been on a deadline. Tried using WOrdpress scrapers, won't work. I even downloaded C++ and Visual Studio 8( with 14.0 installed, no go. — MeekCoder, Oct 16 '20 at 16:45
Does this answer your question? [Getting "Could not find function xmlCheckVersion in library libxml2. Is libxml2 installed?" when installing lxml through pip](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33785755/getting-could-not-find-function-xmlcheckversion-in-library-libxml2-is-libxml2) — AMC, Oct 17 '20 at 01:08
No wheel would install, no twisted, no lxml, no libxml2. Nothing. Retrograded from installing 3.8.6. 3.9 refused to work. I messaged a successful Python coder on Fiverr, over 500 feedbacks charges minimum 250, asked him some questions before that. Came to a problem, offered to pay said no "try this". Man today was a win n n half — MeekCoder, Oct 17 '20 at 07:34
How were you trying to install them, what command(s) did you execute? — AMC, Oct 17 '20 at 23:43
