Is there any way to use pdf-redactor purely from .py instead of from terminal?

[rareguy]

So, instead of setting options in pdf-redactor.py and running it through terminal with

python3 pdf-redactor.py < doc-to-redact.pdf > doc-after-redact.pdf,

we can use:

...
some options
....
dataout = b""
with open("doc-to-redact.pdf", "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()
    dataout = pdf_redactor.redactor(data, options)
with open("doc-after-redact.pdf", "wb") as f:
    f.write(dataout)

or maybe show the workaround on this? Thank you!

Yes... example.py shows how to call the redactor from a script.

Oh right, I misunderstood. I thought it should be a standalone .py file, which totally isn't. Already running a workaround solution by using subprocess which is really unnecessary and unsafe. Will change it to script style. Thank you!
