[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Here is ​the upstream bug report and ​their fix which is included in version 5.0.0 to which the port should be updated (or to 5.1.0).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #69622.

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

In e825035b4dbd6acdbd2bf72f5b4024b1c649d38e/macports-ports (master):

py-lxml: update to 5.1.1

• pin to 5.02 for PY27 and PY35

Closes: #69576

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The committed update is failing like this for py37 and later:

ERROR Missing dependencies:
	Cython>=3.0.9

py36 is also failing with a different missing dependency:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

[barracuda156]

Replying to jmroot:

Apparently it fails now almost on every system. For example: ​https://ports.macports.org/port/py311-lxml/details
