ModuleNotFoundError is returned when I import dragnet as dependency

[fabiana001]

Hi, I have a python project with the following setup.py:

setup(name='my_package',
      version='0.0.1',
      description='',
      author='',
      author_email='',
      packages=find_packages(where='src'),
      package_dir={'':'src'},
      install_requires=[
          'dragnet',
          'spacy',
          'pandas',
          'pytest'
      ]
)

I'm using python 3.7

When I try to install the project dependencies I have the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lxml'

I obtain the same error if I put lxml in the install_requires param (obviously I put lxml before dragnet). What I'm doing wrong?

[Yomguithereal]

Python is a bit quirky with its dependencies. Since dragnet needs to have lxml Cython and numpy installed to be "built", it cannot be installed before those dependencies are installed.

So if you do:

pip install lxml numpy Cython

and then

pip install dragnet

It should then work.
