Last week I tried to use, for the first time, the perspective extension. A message was complaining about the *num* Python package. I use a MacBook so, to install the num package I use MacPort. I use MacPort a lot and never had a problem before. After installing the num package the extension complained about the lxml package for libxml2 library. So I installed it using, again, MacPort. Now I cannot use any extension. Every single extension complains about the *lxml* package, but it is installed. I am aware about the bug of Inkscape in this matter. What I didn't know is that it will affect every extensions. Before that I was able to use others extensions like the *lorem ipsum* text generation. Now I am not.

Hi Alessandro,

Please download a development build from here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D

These builds fix the python extensions problems. (The Perspective extension works fine.) This will also be fixed in the upcoming 0.48.1 release.

Cheers, Michael
