I have Python 2.7 running on Windows XP. I am trying to install Spynner as an alternative to Mechanize that supports Javascript. When I run easy_install spynner, I get an error while installing lxml:
Make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxlst are installed
Where can I find those files? I found instructions for linux but no instructions for Windows. I also tried easy_install but it could not find the packages.
Since you are running Windows, try installing lxml from a precompiled binary package. pypi.python.org hosts a binary that you could use. The next run of
easy_installshould detect the new lxml distribution and the installation should work.
