title: How do I install lxml on Mac OS X 10.7.4? I have exhausted all options
body: <p>Tried various avenues but no luck. I am using a MBP with 10.7.4. I don't remember the last time I had so many problems installing anything with Python on my Mac. Please help me use lxml on my local machine and not rely on SVN commits, updates to remotely run on the Linux machine.</p>
