Howdy does not function, cannot find module dlib despite dlib being installed.

As noted above, I cannot use howdy as when attempting to run howdy it fails as seen in the screenshot below image Any help or advice would be much appreciated, and thank you for this program, I have been using it since I began using Linux about 2 years ago and it is really one of the most impactful programs I have yet used.

I also have this problem since the latest Manjaro update (it was working fine with the experimental 5.10 kernel, but broke once I upgraded to 5.10 LTS)

Edit: I managed to get howdy to work again by installing dlib and reinstalling howdy from the AUR: yay -S python-dlib howdy.

Having attempted ilkhem's suggestion, I am still unable to get howdy working, I get the same error that no module is named dlib.

I also get this error after manjaro system upgrade. I installed dlib, but it didn't solve the issue. Now I'm trying to reinstall howdy.

same issue on fedora 34 beta. I installed Howdy, then saw the dlib error as above, I installed dlib, same error message, I reinstalled howdy, same error message.

In Fedora i solved with : sudo dnf install python3-dlib
