Camelot: DeprecationError: PdfFileReader is deprecated
Question:
I have been using camelot for our project, but since 2 days I got following errorMessage. When trying to run following code snippet:
import camelot
tables = camelot.read_pdf('C:\Users\user\Downloads\foo.pdf', pages='1')
I get this error:
DeprecationError: PdfFileReader is deprecated and was removed in PyPDF2 3.0.0. Use PdfReader instead.
I checked this file and it does use pdfFileReader: c:ProgramDataAnaconda3libsite-packagescamelothandlers.py
I thought that I can specify the version of PyPDF2, but it will be installed automatically(because the library is used by camelot) when I install camelot. Do you think there is any solution to specify the version of PyPDF2 manually?
Answers:
This is issues #339.
While there will hopefully be soon a release including the fix, you can still do this:
pip install 'PyPDF2<3.0'
after you’ve installed camelot.
See https://github.com/camelot-dev/camelot/issues/339#issuecomment-1367331630 for details and screenshots.
I solved the issue uninstalling camelot-py and re installing it includeing the "extra cv requirement", like this:
pip install "camelot-py[base]"
I hope it can be useful!
