I can't seem to get WeasyPrint to work on Windows with Python 3.4 or 3.5. Has anyone been able to do this? There aren't forums at weasyprint.org and the IRC channel is dead.
I've been able to install using both Python 3.4.3 and 3.5.1. I've followed the guideline found here [1]. I've also made note that WeasyPrint's site claims it should work with Python 2.6+ or 3.1+.
When I install for Python 3.4.3 and open the Python shell and simply 'import weasyprint' I get this:
C:\Python34>python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I get a similar traceback when importing in Python 3.5.1, with the exception of the final TypeError being:
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
