Hmm, there really must be something wrong with your setup. You have Cython
0.9.6.7 installed, I assume? I only get three errors, all in the HTML tests.
The first one is because one of the entries in _tag_link_attrs is a list, not
sure about the others.

Anyway, you can run the HTML tests by calling "test.py -vv html", that should
get you over the failing tests for now. I'll see how far I get with a clean
checkout myself. Have you tried importing etree by hand and checked if the
failing methods work there?
