WeasyPrint needs the Pango, cairo and GDK-PixBuf libraries. They are part of GTK+ (formerly known as GIMP Toolkit), and must be installed separately.

After installing GTK+ libraries, do :

python -m weasyprint http://weasyprint.org weasyprint.pdf

Installing GTK+ didn't work for me. I solved this problem using UniConverter2.0. My environments is

• Python 3.7
• Windows 10 x64

1. Install uniconvertor-2.0rc4-win64_headless.msi,
2. Find the "dll" sub-directory under the UniConverter installation path.(In my case, C:\Program Files\UniConvertor-2.0rc4\dlls)
3. Add this "dll" path to the system path.
4. Close VSCode and reopen the project.
5. Try to run the server again. Enjoy!

Starting from Python 3.8, dll's need to be added separately. Added GTK+, MSYS2, Visual Studio C Compiler and Uniconverter. But, nothing seemed to work. Finally, got it working after putting the script for calling add_dll_directory.

import os

def set_dll_search_path():
   # Python 3.8 no longer searches for DLLs in PATH, so we have to add
   # everything in PATH manually. Note that unlike PATH add_dll_directory
   # has no defined order, so if there are two cairo DLLs in PATH we
   # might get a random one.
   if os.name != "nt" or not hasattr(os, "add_dll_directory"):
       return
   for p in os.environ.get("PATH", "").split(os.pathsep):
       try:
           os.add_dll_directory(p)
       except OSError:
           pass


set_dll_search_path()
