Poetry and pip don't install python-poppler
Dear python-poppler developers,
I found information in this issue that the installation problems were solved in 0.4.0+ versions. However I can't install lib using poetry (poetry add python-poppler) or pip (poetry install python-poppler) for none of versions (not 0.4.0 or 0.4.1).
System info:
Python 3.10System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Error:
../meson.build:11:14: ERROR: Dependency "poppler-cpp" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed
× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
Could you help please, how I can install python-poppler using poetry or pip? Many thanks!
I got the following error while trying to pip install this library (v0.4.1):

This is because the rect argument was dropped from image::copy, but the bindings still attempt to bind it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/commit/82cc4a30050ad39debce85a2b5f6e449cd7046f5
PRs #92 and #96 fix it.

That's a different issue - it appears that you don't have the Visual C++ build tools / Visual Studio installed, so it can't compile poppler.
PR #96 resolved the issue for me. I really appreciate the suggestion in PR #92 by @philpax.
# Temporary fix for python-poppler issue #93 (https://github.com/cbrunet/python-poppler/issues/93)
python-poppler @ git+https://github.com/opale-ai/python-poppler.git@ca6678d
I just modified my requirements.txt to use this instead.
