Have you gone through this tutorial: http://pythonprogramming.net/using-pip-install-for-python-modules/ ?

yea, but still no dice. within the installation process i get a few messages like 'visual c ++ 10 required' and 'make sure development packages of libxm12 and libxslt are installed

So walk me through the process you've done.
Have you made sure to match python bit version and the module bit version? If so, what is your bit version that you're using?

I am still a bit confused @ "i have a tar.gz of 3.4"
That doesn't really make any sense to me. You'd need to extract the tar.gz if you wanted that to be the method you used. Otherwise, you should be able to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml
Then opening the cmd window in your downloads directory:
....If that fails, still, then you can use a program like 7zip, and literally extract the .whl file. When you do that, you should get an "lxml" directory and an "lxml-3.4.4.dist-info" directory. Take these, and drag and drop them both into C:/Python34/Lib/site-packages
