Looks like a nice project.

Looks like you missed a file, though.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'miniword.core.utils'

I don't see it in my local clone of your repo, nor the repo iteslf.

My apologies. I added the missing file.

Thanks. I got it to run on my work laptop that runs Windows. Selections don't work, and cairo spits out a bunch of errors during the screen redraws.

I'll give it a shot on my own Ubuntu laptop.

I have been able to install MiniWord under Windows. It is a bit more challenging.

You should use cairocffi instead of pycairo:

  pip install cairocffi
You also need to install the Cairo DLL. The easiest way is to install the full GTK3 runtime from: https://github.com/tschoonj/gtk-for-windows-runtime-environm...

You must add the directory containing libcairo-2.dll to your PATH environment variable. In my case, this is:

  C:\Program Files\GTK3-Runtime Win64\bin
Note that MiniWord is not yet optimised for Windows. While it mostly works, the rendering quality is lower and startup is slow.
