System Dependencies

For the script rendered module, there is a dependecy on some system libraries. Pango and cairo can not be installed with pip and need to be installed from your platform’s packages. lxml and CFFI can, but you’d still need their own dependencies. This section lists system packages for lxml or CFFI when available, the dependencies otherwise. lxml needs libxml2 and libxslt, CFFI needs libffi. On Debian, the package names with development files are libxml2-dev, libxslt1-dev and libffi-dev.
