I suspect the majority of people who use OSX as their main platform try 
to stay as far away from lxml as possible. Not because lxml is bad, but 
because unless you use special magic it will make your python randomly 
segfault. This is very sad, and it is not lxml's fault but I see no good 
solution at this moment.

Using z3c.recipe.staticlxml recipe helps a bit for people using 
buildout, but that is not everyone and even then I have seen random 
segfaults.

Wichert.
