I believe I have installed all the dependencies. What is going on here?

Answer 1

It seems you have the same problem as this https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/issues/353.

It might be because you have a out of date html5lib. It needs to be at least html5lib-1.0b9. If you install html5lib though pip it may still be html5lib-1.0b8. I suggest you update by doing this:

pip install --pre html5lib
