[lxml-dev] Binary egg for Mac OS X

[Alexander Limi]

Hi,

I'm working on documenting Deliverance / xdv for use with Plone. It has  
lxml as a dependency, and I have run into a serious issue:

On Mac OS X, we can't assume that people have Xcode (ie. gcc and friends)  
installed, thus we can't really compile lxml on those computers, not even  
using the staticlxml[1] recipe.

I see that there are binary eggs for Windows, is there a special reason  
why there are no binary eggs for OS X, or is it just a matter of not  
having the infrastructure to make it available?

Happy to help find a solution if it's just a matter of locating a reliable  
way to get it compiled every time there is a new release.
