[lxml-dev] confused newbie ;-)

[Chris Withers]

Hi Guys,

I've finally come around to trying out lxml2, so I googled for it and 
ended up here:

http://codespeak.net/lxml/index.html#download

I got myself in a bit of know 'cos I didn't realise the pointer to PyPI 
was a link (I could have sworn I hovered over it and got no link, but I 
see now that it is).

So I went to http://pypi.python.org/pypi and searched for lxml.
This returns a link to version 0.9. This is what really threw me... 
well, once I found out there was a version 2.1beta2 available!

I guess my main questions are:

- Why are there no links from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/0.9 to 
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml?

- Why is 0.9 being returned as the only relevent search result?

- How come http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml returns a list with no other 
information, versus say http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailinglogger, which 
returns the docs and a list of versions?

cheers,

Chris

PS: I did also try using easy_install, but that sucked down 2.1beta2 and 
then whined that there was no C compiler. How can I teach easy_install 
that I only want eggs where there is already a windows binary?
