libxml2 installation/binding issue with Python 3.6.4

[Priest, Matt]

Dieter,

I'm sure it's the Python version, I was hoping the "latest" set of the dependencies would get me there.
I'll explore stepping that version back and let you know...  

Thank you,

Matt

You might also try "lxml" - which is an alternative for "libxml2".

This indicates a version mismatch between the C part of "libxml2" and something in your system - maybe the "libxml2" C library but more likely Python (given the name).

Are you sure that "libxml2" is Python 3 ready?
