I'm trying to install lxml but having some difficulties:

SO the output just hangs and nothing is installed.

Here is some information about machine:

Install these dependencies first

sudo yum install libxml2 libxml2-devel libxml2-python libxslt libxslt-devel pip install lxml or easy_install lxml 

It is advised to use virtual environment. It helps in isolating python environments.

Too low rep to comment. I had trouble installing lxml on Centos 7, but succeded using nairobi's answer in the post Jimothy linked to above. yum install libxslt-devel libxml2-devel

Hope This helps people who find this post in the future.
