ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'weasyprint'

please lookup this why this getting module not found but, i have already install weasyprint

This error indicates that there is no weasyprint folder in Python's sys.path list. Which would be very strange when you installed it via pip as described in the docs. At least unless you start Python in a special, limited, configured environment or in isolated mode...

How did you install WeasyPrint / what's the output of pip show weasyprint?
How do you start your failing script?
The full traceback and the output of print(*sys.path, sep='\n') might help me to help you.

pip install failed so there is of course no WeasyPrint.

Main reason being this one:

distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

More infos here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers

BTW: The print(*sys.path, sep='\n') wasn't meant to be run in the Windows console, it's a Python command.

[dasharath1996]

could you tell me, how can i install weasyprint
i have already try with visual studio also but still it same error is occurs which is mention above

Pip doesn't find the C++ build tools for Visual Studio, you have to install them.

The URL is given in the error message: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/. There's a "Build tools" section a the bottom of the page, and at the bottom of this section there's a link to download them.

You can then launch pip install weasyprint again.

[Tontyna]

@liZe any chance to deploy cairocffi as wheel? The answer is probably "no" because cairocffi needs to be linked to cairo at install time...

Wondering why I didn't mention the C++ build tools when I rewrote the installation instructions for WeasyPrint on Windows -- most likely I simply forgot about it due to the predominant GTK stuff.

[Tontyna]

Wondering why I didn't mention the C++ build tools

That's why: #668 (comment)
But obviously this isn't true. The compiler must have been there, installed by some other application I wasn't aware of.

[liZe]

But obviously this isn't true. The compiler must have been there, installed by some other application I wasn't aware of

CairoCFFI used to be distributed as a wheel, but it's not anymore because the binding file is done at install time and may (does? not really does?) change depending on the target computer.

We could try to compare the generated files and see if there's a solution to generate them once and include them in a wheel … and of course check that it works everywhere.

[Tontyna]

We could complement the WeasyPrint installation instruction with sth like "if pip install fails then have a look at the installation docs of the failing required module" 😏

Hello, I followed every step mentioned in the document https://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#step-2-update-pip-and-setuptools-packages.
I have set the env variable path also to C:\msys32\mingw32\bin (It's for 32 bit).
When I run python -m weasyprint http://weasyprint.org weasyprint.pdf, I get C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\python.exe: No module named weasyprint.

[Tontyna]

@GaikwadDS cf #1151

Looks like you installed mingw32's Python package: There is a Python executable in C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\python.exe.

When you run python -m weasyprint Windows looks for the first Python executable in your PATH. Since you put the mingw32 folder at the beginning of your PATH ... the wrong executable (i.e. a Python without WeasyPrint) is found.

Since your pip command succeeds in finding python-with-weasyprint, the command where pip should tell you where the required python.exe is located.
Besides that: There should be an activate.bat or similar in your virtualenv which pushes the correct python in front of everything.

Unless the mingw32 Python package is required for something else, I suggest to uninstall it.

[ArwaG]

@Tontyna

Hello, I have a similar problem.
When I try to run python -m weasyprint it results with C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\python.exe: No module named weasyprint .

I did the suggested solution:

Unless the mingw32 Python package is required for something else, I suggest to uninstall it.

but I just removed it from the C:\msys64\mingw64\bin file I did not really uninstall it, just to check if this will work for me. It did not work for me and I was back to this error:

OSError: no library called "cairo" was found
cannot load library 'C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\libcairo-2.dll': error 0x7f
cannot load library 'libcairo.so.2': error 0x7e
cannot load library 'libcairo.2.dylib': error 0x7e
cannot load library 'libcairo-2.dll': error 0x7f

So I returned the python.exe file to C:\msys64\mingw64\bin folder.

Other information regarding my issue that might clarify it:

• if I run where pip weasyprint it returns:

C:\Users\Arwa\anaconda3\Scripts\pip.exe
C:\Users\Arwa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\pip.exe
C:\Users\Arwa\anaconda3\Scripts\weasyprint.exe

• if I run weasyprint http://weasyprint.org ./weasyprint-website.pdf it pops a window says:

the procedure entry point inflateReset2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\msys64\bin\libpng16-16.dll.

• if I run where pip python the following paths return:

C:\Users\Arwa\anaconda3\Scripts\pip.exe
C:\Users\Arwa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\pip.exe
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\python.exe
C:\Users\Arwa\anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\Arwa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\python.exe
C:\Users\Arwa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe

I hope this makes sense.

[liZe]

@Arwa720 Your versions of Python installed by Anaconda and MSYS2 are obviously mixed: pip is from Anaconda and python from MSYS2.

What you can do as a workaround is:

• Install MSYS2 and check that the default Python is from MSYS2 (using where python).
• Use python -m pip install weasyprint instead of pip install weasyprint to install WeasyPrint.
• Use python -m weasyprint to launch WeasyPrint.

The real fix is to understand why you have Anaconda and MSYS2 installed and keep only one to launch Python apps if possible. By the way, WeasyPrint will be available on Anaconda for Windows soon (see conda-forge/weasyprint-feedstock#18), that may be useful for you 😉.

[Tontyna]

Install MSYS2 and check that the default Python is from MSYS2

I don't recommend this -- MSYS2 Python is special. It's working well from within the MSYS shell, but unexpected things happen if you treat it like a regular Windows Python.

I'd recommend staying with the Anaconda Python. @Arwa720 already successfully installed the WeasyPrint module:
After removing the MSYS Python the error wasn't about not finding weasyprint, but the famous cannot load cairo. Which should be fixed by inserting the path to the desired GTK3-Runtime (no matter whether it's from MSYS or from the installer) at the beginning of the PATH.

[ArwaG]

@Tontyna Yes I did insert a path.
But thank you the problem was solved when I just deleted the python.exe from MYSYS2 folder and just waited for about an hour. I don't know how but this just worked after waiting.

[Tontyna]

@Arwa720 You probably closed and restarted your command prompt/shell/environment -- without restart they usually don't notice changed Windows environment variables.

[ArwaG]

@Tontyna Maybe but I don't think so, because I restarted the pc as one of the solutions but it did not work as well previously

[leviouwendijk]

I ran into this issue as well, more on that here.
