AttributeError: module 'camelot' has no attribute 'read_pdf' on Windows

[FurstStern]

I have read the other issues reported like this one and I have tried all the suggested solutions but none of them work.

I use Python 3.x via Jupyter Notebook on Windows 7 Enterprise. I also have ghostscript and tk installed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

My code is:

import camelot
tables = camelot.read_pdf('test.pdf')

and I get the error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

Did you install the right camelot package?

pip install camelot-py[cv]

[FurstStern]

Yes - I have tried all the suggestions that were in other posts relating to this problem.

[knuspertante]

Did you really type pip install camelot-py[cv] or pip install camelot only the first ist right!

[FurstStern]

Yes - I have tried all options - and yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled when/where necessary.

Try this: import camelot.io as camelot

Try this: import camelot.io as camelot

Thanks, I had the same issue and this actually solved it

my stupid mistake was:

$ pip install camelot which installed me a different package. What I should have done is: $pip install camelot-py[cv].

Can confirm that this works

This is throwing the following error:

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

How do we go about it?
