Cairo library module not loading #8

I get this after running the pip install on Windows 10 console (in administrator mode), and then trying to run the example code provided. Errors seem to indicate dependent libraries are not loading

Thanks for reporting this. EGF packages were developed and tested on Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) with Python 3.6.7. We will add a notice to the documentation about this, in the future. I installed blabel now into a new conda environment to test it, and it works well. Unfortunately, Windows is not supported. In most cases the packages work without problems on other OSs, but not always. Not sure where your instance was installed, but it is not recommended to use the operating system's Python. A better way is to create an environment (e.g. with Anaconda), and install into that. This may solve the problem according to this answer.
