pip Install python-docx==1.1.1 raise error in python 3.12, ERROR: Failed building wheel for lxml<=4.9.2,>=3.1.0 (in mac os)

[flyingpang]

I tested that Python3.12 can successfully install lxml==5.2.1 in my mac and also can install python-docx==1.1.0
But pip install python-docx==1.1.1 required lxml<=4.9.2,>=3.1.0, raise errors as blow:

I try to upgrade pip, setuptools and wheel, The error is still unresolved. Could you please improve lxml version requirement in the future release?

[musicinmybrain]

With this and #1385, I think it looks like pinning lxml to the previous major version in 5a80006 did more harm than good.

[scanny]

@musicinmybrain it looks like #1385 is unrelated to the lxml pin.

However a build problem on Python 3.12 is enough to consider reverting this pin ...

Yeah, I'm going to pull that pin. It looks like the cure is worse than the disease. The intent was to allow it to install smoothly on Apple Silicon, but if it breaks elsewhere that's just as bad. We'll just have to live with some folks with newer Macs having to work a little harder to get lxml installed and hope that problem goes away.

[evaneill]

I'm getting the same error on pip install. If it ends up being relevant:

• python version 3.12.2
• pip version 24.0
• setuptools 67.6.1
• wheel 0.40.0

OSX 13.4.1

[scanny]

@flyingpang @musicinmybrain @evaneill I've pulled that pin on the develop branch up on GitHub.

Can you try a clean install from that branch and see if that resolves this problem?

$ pip uninstall python-docx
$ pip install git+https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx@develop

$ pip uninstall python-docx
$ pip install git+https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx@develop

Thanks, I can now install the develop branch in a clean environment

[scanny]

@evaneill thanks! That's super helpful :)

I'll push a new maintenance release here ...

[flyingpang]

https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx@develop

I tested in my clean python3.12 env, it can successful install develop branch. Thanks!

[scanny]

Okay, v1.1.2 is up on PyPI :)
