Python: Why can't I use pandoc in replit like I can when I use jupyter notebook?

I am moving over some projects from my jupyter notebook to replit and I’m testing out this scraper I built with Chat-GPT, but the code runs into an error. Any thoughts?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 291, in <module>
    breezy_jobs_to_airtable(company)
  File "main.py", line 236, in breezy_jobs_to_airtable

Hey, @MarkYi1! Welcome to the community!

It seems that some of the files that allow python to run did not load correctly or was not even installed.

You can try re-transfering the projects again with a better internet connection or manually install the missing files.

@MarkYi1 Try adding pandoc using nixpkgs.
