The following error appears when i try pip install lxml

C:\Program Files\Python311>pip install lxml
Collecting lxml

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Installing collected packages: lxml
  DEPRECATION: lxml is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

hint: See above for output from the failure.

I try to run command : pip install lxml and I expect to run this command without any specific error

CodePudding user response：

First you can download the lxml-3.4.2-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl and try to install it, if you have something wrong try with the win_32 version:

Visit this link : How to install lxml on Windows

good luck
