Description of problem: The pdf2txt command is more difficult to install than expected. "yum install python34-pdfminer" does not install python34-six or python34-chardet. The pdf2txt command does not work without them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): EPEL 7 (The problem was found on an x86_64 RHEL 7.2 Workstation but seems like it is likely to apply to any RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 system.) How reproducible: Consistently. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check that python34-pdfminer, python34-six, or python34-chardet are not already installed. (I would assume that if they are you could just remove them.) 2. Find or create a sample pdf containing text; call it /tmp/my.pdf 3. yum install python34-pdfminer 4. pdf2txt /tmp/my.pdf Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pdf2txt", line 7, in <module> import six Expected results: The extracted text of the pdf should be displayed. Additional info: After installing python34-six it gets a little farther but fails again, $ pdf2txt /tmp/my.pdf Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pdf2txt", line 10, in <module> import pdfminer.high_level File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pdfminer/high_level.py", line 10, in <module> from .pdfdocument import PDFDocument File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pdfminer/pdfdocument.py", line 17, in <module> from .psparser import PSEOF File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pdfminer/psparser.py", line 20, in <module> from .utils import choplist File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pdfminer/utils.py", line 12, in <module> import chardet # For str encoding detection in Py3 After installing python34-chardet it works properly.
