QUESTION
I have a function with a layer that has an import inside of it.
When ran, I get the error "No module named xhtml2pdf"
I have 2 layers that I could import, one for the PDF script and one for the xhtml2pdf module, I don't really want to import both
My import of the function in the layer is:
from PDF import convert_html_to_pdf
Inside the layer I have the import
from xhtml2pdf import pisa
Do I need to add the package into my main function using a layer or can I "nest" layers inside of each other?
Or, is there a way to install the package inside the same layer as my PDF.py?
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-11 at 10:06Changing where you import library is not a solve, it only change where the error occurs.
You have to install xhtml2pdf with pip or conda to your computer (or where you run that code). Importing a library is the matter of python runtime.

QUESTION
I've looked through several websites but I can't seem to find an answer. I'm new to django and docker and whilist building my first project which is a quotation generator, I've been looking for different ways to generate a pdf for each quote.
I found a couple of tutorials on xhtml2pdf and my error appears when I try to run
docker-compose up and get the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xhtml2pdf'
I've installed xhtml2pdf using pip3 install xhtml2pdf
and whenever I try to run it again I get:
Requirement already satisfied: xhtml2pdf, the same for its dependencies.
I've also tried pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall xhtml2pdf with no luck
on my views.py file if I write from xhtml2pdf import pisa vs code gives me no errors regarding the import
My requirements.txt lookslike this:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-06 at 16:49you have to build the image first after you added new packages in your requirements.txt to get them installed. Simply running docker-compose up will just run the image you previously built. Surely that image does not contain the new pip package xhtmltopdf

QUESTION
I have downloaded fonts for html template that is converted with xhtml2pdf to pdf. I didn't manage to google for answer that works for me. I thought that path was changed but in heroku bash path isn't changed. Here is my code:

settings.py
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-08 at 17:35So it figured out that when deployed on heroku you have to use ./path_to_fonts instead of ../path_to_fonts. Hope that this will help somebody.

Sorry I know there seems to be a lot about this topic. But I do not see a real resolution?

Install xhtml2pdf
You can use xhtml2pdf like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
