    import fitz
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fitz'

This is not listed in setup.py.

For reasons I do not understand, the module provided by PyMuPDF is called 'fitz'. So this error suggests you don't have PyMuPDF installed.

The same thing happens to me. If I go into a python console it says it fails to import front end. Installing frontend results in this error.

Possibly related to this, though I'm not sure how to resolve it. Python Wheel Discussion

If you're on M1 macOS you need to do brew install mupdf swig freetype (to get the source dependencies) before running pip3 install pymupdf because for some reason there is no pre-compiled Universal wheel provided (see here, though the discussion is somewhat beyond me).

This unfortunately didn't work for me. I was able in the past to use Rosetta a while back, but keeping up with two brew installations or using non native seemed like a band-aid. It brings me back to the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fitz' error.
