Mac M1 Spyder : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lxml'

I am using Mac M1 now, when I am trying to import lxml in my python code, it shows below:

enter image description here

I've tried

my Python version is : Python 3.9.12

my lxml version is: 4.9.1 enter image description here

Solution

  • The main reason Spyder can't find 'lxml' is I used standalone Spyder, in order to fix this, I have to use a separate environment.
