Just for information:
I observe that after your recent two changes the installation size got 1.05 MiB smaller.
Anything important missing now because you don't seem to use the Makefile anymore for building?, or just some "junk" not included?

Regards!

Ok so it's actually required. Man this package is giving me headaches. His makefile let you presume it's not required.

I think cython2 is needed in makedepends. Errors from makechrootpkg:

==> Starting build()...

RuntimeError: ERROR: Trying to build without Cython, but pre-generated 'src/lxml/etree.c' is not available (pass --without-cython to ignore this error).

Works when cython2 is added back.

python2 setup.py build isn't enough, it needs build_ext -i option passed or tests will fail with ImportError: cannot import name etree. I've pushed an updated pkgbuild which should hopefully fix the issue by disabling coverage and cython dependency.

Or he can just omit using make altogether, since it is redundant here, and return to the previous way (was used in this PKGBUILD until recently):

python2 setup.py build

I played around with the options to test.py, and I found out that the --coverage option which is passed to the test script in the Makefile ~~causes~~triggers the segmentation fault for me. If I leave it out, I don't get the segmentation fault.

You could use this patch to the Makefile as a workaround to just disable --coverage completely:

Thanks to those that suggested --nocheck; updating this package has been segfaulting for me for a week or two...

It worked with:

yay -S python2-lxml --mflags '--nocheck'

@someonewithpc: Please don't flag out of date if it isn't, just post a comment if you have a problem. As for your problem, try cleaning and redownloading the PKGBUILD, yours isn't up-to-date.

I'm using alhp repos and it crash only when these repos for me. @dreieck, are you also using these? Or maybe compiling your own packages? I'll have to dig to find which package is causing it to crash, it isn't python2.
