I'm running into some trouble installing lxml on Linux Mint 20.1 Python 3.8.10

The error message I'm getting is a bunch of these 'too many arguments to function' -

I followed the advice here libxml install error using pip

and have all the packages installed

Is there anything else I'm missing in order to get this to install?

Thanks!

  • I got the same error doing `pip install lxml==4.3.4` in a Python3.8 virtualenv, but could install successfully with `pip install lxml`. – snakecharmerb Sep 25 '21 at 17:46
  • Probably should have mentioned it, I am also able to install newer versions of lxml but I am not in control of the version of lxml used in this project, at least I don't think...I can't find any place where I could update the version it has pinned grep -r "lxml==4.3.4" project/failure.txt:Searching for lxml==4.3.4 ^^ is the only search result for lxml w/ that version – Jeremy Farmer Sep 25 '21 at 20:28
  • Checking the versions here, may it relates to cython version? https://lxml.de/4.6/changes-4.6.3.html – snakecharmerb Sep 25 '21 at 20:31
