WeasyPrint 53.0 doesn't work with Pandoc for me

See original GitHub issue

I recently upgraded to version 53.0 from 52.5 and this is now what happens when I try to use Pandoc with WeasyPrint:

$ pandoc --pdf-engine weasyprint -c ../style.css input.md -s -o output.pdf
Traceback (most recent call last):

Downgrading to version 52.5 solves the issue.

I’m using Gentoo Linux with Pandoc 2.14.1 and Python 3.9.

This bug was caused by pyproject2setuppy, a custom tool used by Gentoo to install Python packages (hello #1410!). It’s now fixed, the right dependency should be added to the ebuild soon.

That’s good news. 😃

WeasyPrint 53.0 is not packaged for Gentoo (yet), is it? By the way, the bug is probably in the ebuild, not in WeasyPrint, so you should definitely create a ticket for the ebuild maintainer.

Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help with the ebuild (I’m a Gentoo user too 😉).
