I want to use scripts I wrote earlier in a new virtualenv. In one of the scripts I import

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

So I need to import this xml module. I think this was this py-xml module I installed earlier, but when I try to pip install it in the venv, I get this error:

Output:
(venv) user:~/catkin_ws$ pip install py-xml

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-XHVo1p/py-xml/

And I have updated the setuptools and tried it with venv with python3 and python2. Both have the same result. How can I fix this?

The xml package is in the standard library, you don't need to install anything.

I have updated the py-xml library in my fork at https://github.com/JeremyDemers/py-xml. Download and unzip the package. From the terminal go to the py-xml folder, type python setup.py install. Done!

Use BeautifulSoup - lxml the are better and more updated.
Web-Scraping part-1 has the basic,it's not much different at all for xml.
