"No module named lxml" but I have it installed #31

When trying to create a hex-grid (using the default values), I get the error below:

The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension.Please download and install the latest version from http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/, or install it through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install python-lxml

Technical details: No module named lxml

But I have lxml installed:

$ sudo pip install lxml
Requirement already satisfied: lxml in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages (4.4.0)

And I can use it: image

I'm using Anarchy Linux and these are the versions I'm using:

$ inkscape --version && python --version && uname -a
Inkscape 0.92.4 5da689c313, 2019-01-14
Python 3.7.4
Linux metztli 5.2.5-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 31 08:30:34 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I suspect that you need to install lxml for python 2 as well? As far as I know Inkscape python extensions are still executed with python 2.

Do any other inkscape extensions run for you that require lxml (probably most of them do)?

That was it. Thanks!

Had to install python2-pip and then run

sudo pip2 install lxml

Had no idea inkscape still used python 2.7!
