<p class=MsoNormal>No sooner does Sidnei get the builds out for Python 2.6 (thanks!)
as I need a build for Python 2.7.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was able to build lxml for Python 2.7 on a 32-bit platform
using this script:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54081/linked/lxml-build.py">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54081/linked/lxml-build.py</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Comments are welcome. The script also has support for
building on a 64-bit platform using binaries I found built for PHP, though I
haven’t yet got that to compile (it seems they’ve used
optimizations for VS2008 SP1, so I’m applying that SP now).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m pleased to report that thusfar, the tentative
builds for Python 2.6 are working for me. Please consider also building against
Python 2.7 when releasing to PyPI.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
