Body
First, I installed lxml without using pip (Python 2.7.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8). Then, I read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9501894/importerror-after-install-of-lxml-on-os-x-10-6-8">this post</a> and I installed it again using pip (<code>sudo pip install lxml</code>). I still had a problem: I can import lxml (<code>import lxml</code>) but I cannot use <code>from lxml import etree</code>. I have this error message: <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml-2.3.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg/lxml/etree.so, 2): Symbol not found: _htmlParseChunk Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml-2.3.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg/lxml/etree.so Expected in: flat namespace in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml-2.3.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg/lxml/etree.so </code></pre> Then, I tried to install lxml from source following <a href="http://lxml.de/build.html#building-lxml-on-macos-x" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these instructions</a>, and I have this error message: <pre><code>checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/Users/my_name/Applications/lxml/lxml-2.2.2/build/tmp/libxml2-2.7.8': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 115, in <module> STATIC_CFLAGS, STATIC_BINARIES), File "/Users/my_name/Applications/lxml/lxml-2.2.2/setupinfo.py", line 50, in ext_modules libxslt_version=OPTION_LIBXSLT_VERSION) File "/Users/my_name/Applications/lxml/lxml-2.2.2/buildlibxml.py", line 198, in build_libxml2xslt call_subprocess(configure_cmd, cwd=libxml2_dir, **call_setup) File "/Users/my_name/Applications/lxml/lxml-2.2.2/buildlibxml.py", line 158, in call_subprocess raise Exception('Command "%s" returned code %s' % (cmd_desc, returncode)) Exception: Command "./configure --without-python --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-shared --prefix=/Users/my_name/Applications/lxml/lxml-2.2.2/build/tmp/libxml2" returned code 1 </code></pre> Finally, I followed the second advise of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/7961663/762435">this answer</a> and I used the command line <code>sudo STATIC_DEPS=true /usr/bin/easy_install-2.7 lxml</code>. It installed lxml on the Apple-supplied system Python 2.7, and not on the version I'm currently using. The positive point: if I run the Apple-Python, I can <code>from lxml import etree</code>. Negative point: I still don't know how to install lxml on another version of python. Any idea? I'm currently using <code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python</code>.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
