Question

I am getting an error of that no such module exists when I try to us the following: from lxml import html. I have downloaded the lxml-3.3.5 and installed it using python setup.py install.

Answer 1

Have you tried using pip? lxml was giant pain for me to install and pip made it infinitely easier

check out this stackoverflow question for how to install

How do I install pip on Windows?

after you have installed and added in the pip keyword to command prompt

simply go:

pip uninstall lxml

to get rid of the old files

and then

pip install lxml

to reinstall
