Re: Troubles with gtksourceview python bindings on windows

[Dani Valevski <daniva gmail com>]

Yay that solved it!

Maybe the libxml link in this page

http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/download.html

should point to to the file you provided and not to the libxml website.

Thank you!

I am not sure whether this is the problem, but this is a bad idea in
general. Better use the DLL file gtksourceview is supposed to be used
with, i.e.
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2_2.7.7-1_win32.zip
