Unwanted Output with Linux

Hello,

First of all, thank you for this very useful package!

I started to use this on Linux and the dictionnary output was far from what I have while using Windows. On windows, all is working well and ready to be used, but in Linux, I get a lot more characters and information not understandable.

Both results below comes from the same code on different machines. Could you help me understand why the Linux one is not working properly?

I’m quite new to Linux and don’t really understand how this could happen.

Here are examples:

This is the output I have on windows:

When I use the same code on Linux, I get the following (this is a sample since it is quite long):

I found a work around the problem: I was using Linux Debian and tried with Ubuntu and it works!

Try pip install -U lxml

Hi. I tried but it still not working. Later, I tried https://github.com/kevinzg/facebook-scraper/issues/563#issuecomment-973257009 and finally works!
