ImportError: cannot import name PyFontify

I am installing django-easy-pdf, xhtml2pdf and reportlab using pip I installed the following in a virtual environment.:

$ pip install django-easy-pdf
$ pip install "xhtml2pdf>=0.0.6" "reportlab>=2.7,<3"

But after the testing, there is an import error that has following message:

from reportlab.lib import PyFontify

ImportError: cannot import name PyFontify

Oh, I nearly forgot, when I'm installing the reportlab, this came up in the middle of the setup:

running build_ext
building '_rl_accel' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat).
Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Rolling back uninstall of reportlab
Solution

  • I solved this by removing the packages and their dependencies and installing it again.
