The lxml home page says that the actual version requires Python 2.4 or later. In other words, from what lxml version Python 2.3 support has been dropped ?

From 2.3.1 on, as you can see on PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml Building lxml 2.3.1 on Python 2.3 may or may not work, I don't know and can't test it. Even if it works, it may at least require changes to the setup.py script in order to build it. The next release will *definitely* no longer work on Py2.3. Stefan
