There is an old ticket, #226, which indicates there might be possible collisions with installing python `lxml` in addition to the binary `libxml2` package we have now, but so far as I know no one has tested to see if that's true. I did try installing python lxml via pip ([wiki:ExternalPythonPackages], `pip install lxml`) but that failed with ''"make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed"''. This means it's trying to build from source instead of grabbing the binary version. Going direct to the latest egg binary for 2.7 with `pip install %url_to_egg%` also failed, but this time for a lcoal reason, ''"IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'd:\\temp\\systmp\\pip- el8cr5-build\\setup.py'"'' The next thing to try would be using a standard Windows Installer, see #114. I've run out of time to dig into this personally.
