[lxml-dev] Version 1.2.1 not working?

[Robert Dailey]

Roger,

Thank you for your reply. I wasn't aware that you could just pass in a
filename. From the examples on the website I've only seen strings passed in.
I suppose it might be worth my time to look at the API reference. The way I
installed lxml is through the binary distribution (installer for windows) on
the Cheese Shop. Unless the installer is broken, it should have installed
fine. There wasn't much user intervention during the installation process.

Thanks for your help. I'll try passing in the file and see what I get.

Thank you.
