cannot import libxml2 python module on windoze using activePerl orPython IDLE

Andrew Marlow

guys,

I have been using libxml2 with python with no problems for
just over a week but now I come to see if my script will work
in someone else's environment and the libxml2 import fails.
I am using the python that comes with cygwin. When I try using
ActivePython (2.3) or Python IDLE (2.5) there does not seem to
be a libxml2 module there.

I thought libxml2 was a std python module.
But it would seem not. I need help tracking it down please.
I am using windoze XP (not my choice).

I am not sure how python packages get installed on windoze.
I can't find a file libxml2.py for activePython etc
so I cannot even begin an install. I presume python's libxml
builds on the C libs libxml2.dll and iconv.dll so I have installed
those into the python DLL directory. I think this will be
needed at some point.

Please can anyone help?

Regards,

Andrew Marlow

Import trouble

by: Frans Englich | last post by:

Hello all, I have a couple of questions related to module importing. 1) When I start my Python program with `python foo.py` instead of simply adding a interpreter comment on the first line and do `./foo.py`, some "local" imports fails, I guess because current working directory is different. Is CWD the only difference between running `python foo.py` and `./foo.py`? What is the recommended way? (I guess security is one aspect that can...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
