I am trying to install Fabric on Nixos using nix-shell, and I have the following error:

fabric_shell ~/dotfiles/fabric $ python

Is Hyprland running?

When I am trying to import from widgets, it fails initially for the first run, but works fine for the second run. I am able to open the example 'Hello World!' window as shown in the documentation, but it does not work in a script as it fails for the first import.

this is an addressed issue with this version of Fabric and it's already fixed in the rewrite :)

the reason behind this error is that we import Hyprland's widgets in the __init__.py of fabric/widgets folder, removing those imports will resolve this issue

I agree, it is a simple fix. Is the rewrite already committed? The init file for widgets still has the Hyprland imports in the main branch, I don't see other branches as well.

it's still in local development, so far it's turning complete :D

That sounds great! Thanks so much for the great work :), I was looking for just this package as I am familiar with Python than js. Nice that it works with X11 too, can use the old bspwm config if needed.
