Install lxml in python3 in windows

This article briefly introduces how to install the LXML module using Python in windows and linux systems. It is very simple and practical, if you have any need, refer to lxml as the most abundant and easy-to-use library related to XML and HTML in Python. Lxml is not a Python package, but a Python-based binding between libxml2 and libxslt libraries. What makes it different is that it takes into account the speed and functional integrity of these libraries, as well as the simplicity of pure Python APIs. It is compatible with the well-known ElementTree API, but is superior to it! However, installing lxml is a little troublesome. Because of the dependency, if you install lxml directly, easy_install and pip cannot succeed, and a gcc error will be reported.

LXML is usually installed for crawlers.
