[lxml-dev] Problem with lxml library running on Windows

[Agustin Villena]

I agree.
Nonetheless, WinXP SP2 is a very relevant platform to be ignored :(
And lxml is the fastest XPath alternative for python

Do you know Is avalidable the lxml's egg windows build system in the 
source tree?, this can be a very good base to me to debug and reproduce 
the problem
Did it uses pre-compiled libxml libraries? Or custom compiled libraries?

Thanks
