Hi Jachym,

For python2 you're missing the development headers (package name python-dev). Lxml also needs libxml development headers (packages libxml2-dev and libxslt1-dev, at least those are the names in debian).

For python3 it looks like you got bitten by a bug[1] in python-dateutil which is caused by an unfortunate behaviour[2] in python 3 when choosing a default encoding. I'm not sure what to suggest as a workaround. You could run tox on python2 only: `tox -e py27`.

Sorry if I was rushing ahead with changes, please let me know if anything else breaks, and I'd be happy to help fix it. :)
