Missing _libheif_cffi module

[IavTavares]

I'm trying to use pyheif in Windows. For that, I've tried following this solution, provided Yienschwen.

It worked so far as I was able to run pip install pyheif without any problem.

However, now, I'm trying to import pyheif, and I get the following error:

I can't find that file anywhere on the internet...

There are a few closed issues with potential solutions. Have you tried these?

@ant32bit-carsales which ones? Could you please point me to some? it would be much appreciated. ;)

ALso, could you tell me where does the _libheif_cffi module comes from?

[alisher-amantay]

My interpreter says `_libheif_cffi` comes from some file `_libheif_cffi.abi3.so` in env site packages. Hope this helps

Thanks Alisher ;)

I’m not sure if this works, #54

libheif_cffi_ is part of the pyheif package and should be built for your OS as part of the pip install. But it seems like it doesn’t link properly in windows on python 3.8+ and above and has to be manually located.

I use Mac and Linux so I haven’t had an opportunity to try this solution myself.

I have the same issue and I can't find the solution.
@IavTavares, did you find a solution ?
