pipenv: pdfkit not found when running FastAPI app - fastapi

Question

I've been developing an API using FastAPI and pipenv to manage my virtual environment. To start my testing setup, I use the following commands on the console:
pipenv shell
uvicorn backend:app --reload
The API starts after a couple of seconds and everything is okay. However, recently I decided to install pdfkit to generate some PDF documents that need to be sent back to a webapp. However, after I did (using this this page as reference):
pipenv install pdfkit
Now, whenever I try to run the same uvicorn command to start my API, the API returns the error module pdfkit not found. I've checked that the package is properly installed and it does appear on my Pipfile and whenever I type pip freeze once my enviroment has been activated.
Here's a snippet of the API call that returning the error:
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
from fastapi.responses import FileResponse, StreamingResponse
from scipy.optimize import leastsq
from openpyxl import load_workbook
from openpyxl.utils.dataframe import dataframe_to_rows
from openpyxl.styles import Font

def render_pdf(pdf_content: str):
from jinja2 import Template, Environment, FileSystemLoader
import pdfkit as pdf
# Jinja2 template "generator" or "main" object (AKA Environment)
env = Environment(loader = FileSystemLoader('PDF Rendering'), trim_blocks=True, lstrip_blocks=True)
# Template parameters
template_params = {
"BASE_PATH": os.getcwd(),
"REPORT_CONTENT": pdf_content,
}
# Render template
template = env.get_template("pdf_template.j2")
template_text = template.render(template_params)
with open("PDF Rendering/render.html", "w") as f:
f.write(template_text)
# Turn rendered file to PDF
pdf.from_file("PDF Rendering/render.html", "PDF Rendering/render.pdf")
return {
"message": "Success"
}
(The Jinja section works mind you, but for some reason, the pdfkit one doesnt)
