Exception in Tkinter callback / ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

[shahram7]

Hi Saeed and everyone who reads this
I would convert my dictionary, which is in Stardict format, to a format readable by Python. (I am going to create Anki flashcards later using python.)
First of all I would ask, to which format should I write my dictionary. I just don't want the HTML formatting (Color, Bold, Italic, New lines) of my dictionary to be deleted.

I have tried to convert my dictionary from stardict Format to FreeDict format, but I did not succeed.

Best wishes

Please run pip3 install lxml --user command and try again:

You can convert to Tabfile(txt), CSV or JSON formats, all easy to parse.

Why are trying to convert to .tei?

Also there is probably something wrong with your installation of lxml.
