A modern pure-Python library for reading PDF files
A modern pure-Python library for reading PDF files.
The goal is to have a modern interface to handle PDF files which is consistent
with itself and typical Python syntax.
The library should be Python-only (hence no C-extensions), but allow to change
the backend. Similar in concept to matplotlib backends and Keras backends.
The default backend could be PyPDF2.
Possible other backends could be PyMuPDF
(using MuPDF)
and PikePDF (using QPDF).
WARNING: This library is UNSTABLE at the moment! Expect many changes!
