I think it is having an issue installing lxml binaries on your windows machine.
Trying install lxml first from here - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml
Even better, using conda for installing a python environment in windows - http://conda.pydata.org/docs/
Ok, let me try as you said .
Thank you very much
Could anybody give me some help? Thanks more
