python3-lxml for 7.1

Issue #58 resolved
R2D2 C3PO created an issue

Is there a way to install the python3-lxml package in a 7.1 environment?

On repository there is the version for 7.2 ( python3-lxml-4.2.1-3.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm )

    No, the RPMs are not backward compatible. The software in the repository is only supported on IBM i 7.2 and up. While some of the software may work on IBM i 7.1, there is no guarantee. And any software that is built for 7.1 may be re-built for 7.2 at any time. You can continue using the software on IBM i 7.1 for as long as you want, but it’s really not advised.

    Unfortunately, that library (and many others) are built for 7.2+ only. It's quite possible that the others will require 7.2+ soon also.

    You may be able to achieve success by installing libxml2-devel and libxslt-devel and building this library yourself, but really an OS upgrade is needed for a simple and sustainable solution.
