Pandas Install Issue

Question

I've run pip install pandas and seemed to get a ton of warnings but by the end everything seemed to have installed successfully. I've also run pip install requests.

When I call a function with this line:

getTeamRoster("http://modules.ussquash.com/ssm/pages/leagues/Team_Information.asp?id=11325")

I get this error (seems not to like the read_html call and wants me to install lxml?):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SquashScraper.py", line 51, in <module>
    main()
  File "SquashScraper.py", line 48, in main
    getTeamRoster("http://modules.ussquash.com/ssm/pages/leagues/Team_Information.asp?id=11325")
  File "SquashScraper.py", line 39, in getTeamRoster
    tables = pd.read_html(requests.get(teamURL).content)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pandas/io/html.py", line 865, in read_html
    parse_dates, tupleize_cols, thousands, attrs, encoding)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pandas/io/html.py", line 718, in _parse
    parser = _parser_dispatch(flav)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pandas/io/html.py", line 677, in _parser_dispatch
    raise ImportError("lxml not found, please install it")
ImportError: lxml not found, please install it

Any ideas what's going on here?

Happy to provide more info if needed.

Thanks, bclayman

Edit to add:

pip install got me:

Notice that you get the following error message:

ImportError: lxml not found, please install it

That means you need to install python-lxml package on Linux.

on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get -y install python-lxml

On Fedora

sudo yum -y install python-lxml

On Mac

brew install libxml2
brew install libxslt
STATIC_DEPS=true sudo pip install lxml

If you're on a Mac, you have to download and install the developer tools, which can be achieved with this command:

xcode-select --install

I had the same error before doing so when I did pip install lxml
