No module named 'cairocffi._generated'

See original GitHub issue

Not working on a project using PDM running on WSL2, Ubuntu 20.04. I’ve inspected the code and it seems that this module actually doesn’t exist.

❯ pdm run start

What you can do is:

remove CairoCFFI’s wheel that’s been created in ~/.cache/pdm/wheels
pdm init
pdm add cairocffi -v

In the logs, you should have something like

If you don’t, maybe you have an old version of setuptools and should update it.
