-Notes on Pyrex
-==============
-
-The lxml wrapper around libxml2 and libxslt is written in Pyrex_.  However,
-there are known issues with the current version of Pyrex (0.9.3.1) and version
-4.x of gcc.  Most Linux distributions have the necessary patches applied, but
-there is still a certain chance yours hasn't.  Also, MacOS-X is known to ship
-with GCC 4, so users may run into problems when compiling Pyrex generated code
-on this system.  If the C compiler fails to compile the file src/lxml/etree.c,
-you likely have used an unpatched version of Pyrex to build it.
-
-There are two ways to get around this problem.  First of all, if you are using
-a release version of lxml, it should come with the generated C file in the
-source distribution.  There is no need to regenerate it using Pyrex.
-
-However, if you want to use more recent SVN versions of lxml or want to work
-on the code, you will need Pyrex to regenerate the C-code.  If your version of
-Pyrex is not patched, you may try to apply the patch that ships with lxml and
-is also part of the SVN checkouts.  It should fix the remaining problems.
-Apply it to the 0.9.3.1 version of Pyrex, rebuild and install it.  If the
-problems persist, please report to the lxml mailing list.  Try to provide a
-clear description of what you did to run into the problems and provide the
-compiler output that shows the error.
