title: Homebrew install libxml2 with python modules
body: <p>Good morning,</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to install libxml2 with python modules.  I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>brew install --with-python libxml2                                                                  
  ==&gt; Downloading ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.8.0.tar.gz
  Already downloaded: /Users/brandon/Library/Caches/Homebrew/libxml2-2.8.0.tar.gz
  ==&gt; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.8.0 --without-python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see... even with the --with-python flag, it is still configuring the source without python!</p>
  
  <p>At the end of the install, homebrew says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Generally there are no consequences of this for you.
  If you build your own software and it requires this formula, you'll need
  to add its lib &amp; include paths to your build variables:
  
      LDFLAGS  -L/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.8.0/lib
      CPPFLAGS -I/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.8.0/include
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to install the gnome-doc-utils package:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Gnome-doc-utils requires libxml2 to be compiled
  with the python modules enabled, to do so:
    $ brew install libxml2 --with-python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So obviously I tried again...</p>
  
  <pre><code>╰─ brew install libxml2 --with-python
  Error: libxml2-2.8.0 already installed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm still new to this... so any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
