I've been trying to write my Inkscape extensions but kept on getting dependency errors when I try to run it. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out? My code and error message below:

As an fyi, the menu "SML" does show up on the extension menu, though the "Clear all guides" menu item does not - so I know that Inkscape does see my files which makes it all the more curious why the files 'failed to load'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
