Python 3.12 fails to import pyquery with "ImportError: cannot import name 'etree' from 'lxml' "
Python 3.12 fails to import pyquery. The specific problem reported is:
ImportError: cannot import name 'etree' from 'lxml'
Here is the full error message I get when trying to run a simple test script that imports from requests_html:
$ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\edcar\OneDrive\Documents\voterRolls\test.py", line 7, in
tests are green https://github.com/gawel/pyquery/actions/runs/8529082816/job/23364099065
My guess is it is a backwards compatibility issue with lxml. If so, you simply have to change the lxml version to whatever version works correctly. The python installer I use is pip. To reproduce it run 'pip install pyquery' and then try importing it in a test script.

The test install lxml==5.2.1 which il the latest. So I don't really get your point
Try a script with "from lxml import etree" and I guess you'll have the same problem. Seems like this has nothing to do with pyquery
