I love how (re)installing lxml still fixes this issue, 8 years later. – Sander Koldenhof Jul 01 '20 at 08:38
How will the same work on AWS Glue? I've given this wheel file as path: lxml-4.8.0-cp37-cp37m-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.manylinux_2_24_x86_64.whl. Its downloading but failing in "from lxml import objectify" part. Can't install manually inside a managed service like Glue, any help? – Aakash Basu May 18 '22 at 21:48

From PyCharm you can install lxml 3.4.2 and it works.
