Can't import mpv with Python 3.6.8 #80

When I import mpv I get the following error:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/timetraveller/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mpv.py", line 11, in <module>
    backend = CDLL('libmpv.so')
  File "/home/timetraveller/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 348, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

harfbuzz is a typesetting library. I'm 98% sure your issue is being caused by some out-of-date build linked against old dependencies. Try running a full system update on your machine and make sure all packages are in their most recent version. If you built anything like harfbuzz or libmpv yourself, rebuild and re-install it after the update to make sure everything is linked to up-to-date dependencies.

I recently did a pacman -Syyu and also updated all my python packages. pacman probably broke something again, like always. I will look into it. Closing the issue.
