I try to:
easy_install lxml
and I get this error:
File “build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/egg/setuptools/command/build_ext.py”, line 85, in get_ext_filename
KeyError: ‘etree’
any hints?
Due to incompatible changes in the 2.6.3 version of python’s distutils, the old
easy_installfrom setuptools no longer works. You need to replace it witheasy_installfrom Distribute. Follow the instructions there, basically:assuming the 2.6.3
pythonis first on your$PATH.EDIT: Besides the option to migrate from setuptools to Distribute, Python 2.6.4, which should be released in a couple of weeks, will contain a workaround in distutils that will unbreak setuptools. Thanks, Tarek, for the fix and thanks, jbastos, for bringing this issue up.
FURTHER EDIT: setuptools itself has been updated (as of
0.6c10) to work around the problem with 2.6.3.
