OSError: cannot load library 'gobject-2.0-0'

Hey Matt,

Big fan of your site.

I was trying to build a report using your gilfoyle package, but I'm having trouble with the installation. The dependencies seem to download fine using pip install gilfoyle, but when I try to run the line "from gilfoyle import report", I keep getting the OSError: cannot load library 'gobject-2.0-0'

I've tried running both inside and outside a virtualenv and installing Weasyprint and Jinja2 independently. Any idea whats up?

Many thanks for your bug report. Glad you like the site.

This isn't something I've experienced. (I've been using it today.) Please could you let me know some details about your environment, such as the Python version and OS? I'll see if I can recreate the issue and fix it if I can.

Cheers,
Matt

Just had the same issue today on Windows as well on Python 3.12.2, this is the OSError: cannot load library 'gobject-2.0-0': error 0x7e. Additionally, ctypes.util.find_library() did not manage to locate a library called 'gobject-2.0-0'

WeasyPrint could not import some external libraries. Please carefully follow the installation steps before reporting an issue:
