[lxml-dev] Version 1.2.1 not working?

[Roger Patterson]

Hi Robert,

Firstly, you don't need to read your XML file into a string and then
convert it to a StringIO object.  You can just feed the file handle to
etree.parse().
But other than that, your XML file parsed fine for me, and I'm using
lxml 1.2.1
You may want to make sure you've installed correctly.
