Textract.process not working...MacOS

[animishgautam]

I am having the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-25-c7a4aaeff23c>", line 104, in <module>
    org_text.append(textract.process(filepath[i], encoding='utf-8'))

    return parser.process(filename, encoding, **kwargs)

    CharSetGroupProber.__init__(self)

TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

and sometimes the following: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type

The package was working fine before but for some reason I got updated to python 3.7 after which I got back to python 3.6 but now the package is showing the above errors.

Sorry, I am new to python coding. So let me know if I havent given you the full info.

Thanks.

Could you provide a test file and the code you used to process this file with textract? If possible, try again using the latest version of textract.
