pip install doesn't seem work?

[kiteloopdesign]

Hi, eager to try this tool but I can't get it to install. First of all it doesn't automatically install pycairo and pango dependencies? (hdlparse is installed fine though)

Then, if I install them, install symbolator and run the tool, I get the following error :

File "/home/${USER}/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/nucanvas/cairo_backend.py", line 13, in <module>
    import pango
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pango'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./symbolator", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('symbolator==1.0.2', 'console_scripts', 'symbolator')()

    from gi.repository import Pango as pango
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

Further research brings me to the issue that I am missing "gi" package. When installing this package, pygobject I run into some other issues ...

Note that I am installing everything on python3 through pip install --user, not sure this has something to do with the issue, although I never had an issue so far ...

I ran into a lot of issues you're experiencing as well. Try out my (hopefully temporary) fork here and let me know if that works or not.
