[lxml-dev] python crashes in xmlDictFree inside Zope

[David Pratt]

Hi Eric, let me know if you have any success with Macports libxml2. I 
could not get it to work a little while back. I am trying some binaries 
for mac from explain.com libxml2 2.6.26 at the moment to see how they 
will work out.

Regards,
David
