如何使用Python 3（OSx）在Anaconda上安装Textract？

Question

I am trying to convert a PDF file into text readable for python 3. This is so I can find the most common words in the file for a wordcloud.

I have already tried using pip install textract, received the same error message below. I am now trying conda install and still receiving the same error message.

! pip install PyPDF2 # convert text-based PDF file to text readable by python
! conda config --add channels conda-forge
! conda install textract # convert non-trivial, scanned PDF file into text readable by python
! pip install nltk # clean and convert phrases into keywords
! pip install regex # find keywords

import PyPDF2
import textract
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
from nltk.corpus import stopwords

print ("Libraries have been imported.")

The error I am receiving is: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'textract' ".

Answer 1

This might be a workaround.

1.Uninstall Anaconda and re-install it.

2.Do not create any python 2.7 environment in anaconda and re-install textract using pip along with all the other dependencies in the base anaconda command prompt.

3.Try importing textract

or

1.Open terminal

python -m venv env 
source ./env/bin/activate
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-pip && pip install --upgrade pip
sudo apt install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev antiword unrtf poppler-utils pstotext tesseract-ocr flac ffmpeg lame libmad0 libsox-fmt-mp3 sox libjpeg-dev swig
pip install textract

if you face any more errors:

pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/ce/c7/ab6cd0d00ddf8dc3b537cfb922f3f049f8018f38c88d71fd164f3acb8416/SpeechRecognition-3.6.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl
sudo apt install libpulse-dev
pip install textract

and try importing textract
