@nutjob4life I am not sure if users still need to install visual studio C++ 14. When I install the released deep-archive, I got error message for that not installed. So I installed it, and when I install the pre-release of deep-archive, I don't see any error message.
Good morning @gxtchen: the reason to install lxml-4.9.0-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl
is to avoid having to install Visual Studio C++ 14. This is a pre-compiled Python "wheel" that enables you to skip installing Visual Studio C++.
Hope this helps!
🗒️ Summary
Merge this for better support on Windows. I tested several different Python vendors on Windows (and on macOS) in order to ensure compatibility and also to devise a set of minimal, streamlined installation instructions. This also updates the LXML dependency from 4.6.3 → 4.9.0 which is absolutely required for Windows—but doesn't hurt on Unix and Unix-like systems like macOS.

Check out the updated installation instructions.
