libxml2 Dependencies
Recommended
Python-2.7.5 (to build and install a
Python library module,
additionally it is required to run the full suite of tests)
Note
Some packages which utilize libxml2 (such as GNOME Doc Utils) need the Python module installed to function properly
and some packages (such as MesaLib) will not build properly if
the Python module is not
available.
