ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bidi.algorithm'

[jeffhaskin]

I have been banging my head against the wall and just figured out that this is probably a issue with changes to the packages you're using.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bidi.algorithm'

I have tried 30-ish different times to install in different ways after going through the install instructions as-is multiple times. I get this error every time. Here's the full message:

Temp solution: comment the 25th line in .venv/lib/python3.[YOURVERS]/site-packages/xhtml2pdf/util.py

#from bidi.algorithm import get_display

Seems works for me 🤔

Hi.. change to version 0.4.2 of python-bidi

[jeffhaskin]

I should have said; I tried that already. I did pip install python-bidi==0.4.2 and then installed requirements. After installing all requirements, I then confirmed python-bidi was still version 0.4.2. Still produced that same error when running the program.

You beautiful human. This worked for me. I'll comment again if this causes any errors, but it launches now!

"algorithm.py" was removed from python-bidi in 0.5.0. The same issue just happened on my side and the problem was fixed after downgrading to 0.4.2.

This issue was also reported on python-bidi:
MeirKriheli/python-bidi#23

and it is suggested to change:
from bidi.algorithm import get_display
into
from bidi import get_display
in "site-packages/xhtml2pdf/util.py"

Only a temp solution. I cannot do this to release production code.
For us fixing python-bidi at 4.2 in our build fixed it. However many projects can have xhtml2pdf coming as a transitive dependency. Somebody pulling xhtml2pdf will break anyway right? xhtml2pdf needs to make this change and release perhaps?

what version of xhtml2pdf do you have in your build? Should I just uninstall xhtml2pdf after installing requirements? I already downgraded python-bidi, and it still gives me the same error. So one of the packages must have the updated version as a dependancies somewhere.
