    from weasyprint import HTML
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/weasyprint/__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
    VERSION = __version__ = (ROOT / 'VERSION').read_text().strip()
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'

Oh well... I think there's more to it. The follow-up error is this one:

    from weasyprint import HTML
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/weasyprint/__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
    VERSION = __version__ = (ROOT / 'VERSION').read_text().strip()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/pathlib.py", line 1206, in read_text
    with self.open(mode='r', encoding=encoding, errors=errors) as f:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/pathlib.py", line 1193, in open
    opener=self._opener)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/pathlib.py", line 1046, in _opener
    return self._accessor.open(self, flags, mode)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/user/test/build/exe.linux-x86_64-3.7/VERSION'

So the final fix for me was this line:
ROOT = Path(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.executable), 'lib', 'weasyprint'))

This might not be the general fix, but you may find it useful.

The same line must be changed within /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cairosvg/__init__.py

Thank you!

(I’ve actually fixed this too in 647af0b 😉)

I’ll check that
