Hi all, I hope this is not an "overasked" question but I find myself quite confused about python xml management (I have to use python for a project and I come from java world, you know...where frameworks, libraries and tools to use are standard de iure or standard de facto).
I need to use XML parsing with xpath: a simple xml reader. I've found that the standard distribution of python doesn't include xpath support modules so I've decided to add libxml2. I've installed cygwin c compiler but I still have errors like the following: C:\Python25\Lib\libxml2-python-2.6.9>python setup.py build install C:\Python25\lib\distutils\dist.py:247: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution option is deprecated; use 'license' warnings.warn(msg) running build running build_py running build_ext building 'libxml2mod' extension writing build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2mod.def C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build \temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release \libxml.o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\types.o build \temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2mod .def -L/usr\lib -LC:\Python25\libs -LC:\Python25\PCBuild -llibxslt - llibexslt -llibxml2 -lpython25 -lmsvcr71 -o build \lib.win32-2.5\libxmlmods\libxml2mod.pyd build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o:libxml2-py.c:(.text+0x1629): undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree' build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o:libxml2-py.c:(.text+0x2802): undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree' build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o:libxml2-py.c:(.text+0x44b2): undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree' build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o:libxml2-py.c:(.text+0x50e4): undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree' build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o:libxml2-py.c:(.text+0x5519): undefined reference to `_imp__xmlFree' build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\libxml2-py.o:libxml2-py.c:(.text+0x7339): more undefined references to `_imp__xmlFree' follow Does anyone know how to solve this issue or has suggestions for another (easy-to-install) xml-xpath library?
