I am getting error while running "from lxml import tree" on python3.6

>>> import lxml
>>> from lxml import etree
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'etree'

The same working on python3.4, I have tried many things to troubleshoot as below but didn't success.

python -m pip uninstall lxml
python -m pip install lxml==3.6.0

pip install -t /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages lxml==3.6.0

Just in case anybody has similar issue. I also encountered this problem using Python3.6. Just by uninstalling lxml and installing it again with pip the issue is resolved.

Didn't work for me. Especially not in a lambda function environment. – Git 25/3, 2020 at 18:20

I changed my lambda runtime from python3.8 to python3.6 and it magically worked – Grappa 9/10, 2020 at 14:50

The system wide APT package was python-lxml , and the pip package was merely lxml in my case. – Pinxit 26/5, 2022 at 13:37

sudo pip3 uninstall lxml and then pip3 install lxml worked for me. – Dirtcheap 21/8, 2022 at 12:23

Got this working in Lambda with python 3.6

Turns out lxml wraps c libraries that are compiled for a certain processor architecture (I think)

Use precompiled binaries for lambda here: https://github.com/JFox/aws-lambda-lxml

I had the same problem in Python server with cPanel Here are the commands I typed in the terminal to solve the issue:

pip uninstall lxml
pip install lxml

Afterwards I stopped and then started the Python server.

For Windows:

After having the same problem at the instance of my Windows 2019 server, Python 3.8 and Anaconda, I downloaded the corresponding whl package, installed it with

pip install lxml-4.6.3-cp38-cp38-win_amd64

It now works without problem.

I have the same issue when deploying an Azure python function using version 3.9. I redeployed with 3.6 in Azure an everything worked fine.

Had the same while running the code in VS code.For me I got it resolved by changing the interpreter in VS code from 32-bit to 64-bit.

I suspect the architecture was not the difference that matters hare and there is some other difference between those two interpreters' environments. – Jamaaljamaica 4/10, 2021 at 11:53
