@w1kke that sounds really promising! I like the idea of using [pyjnius](https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius) to get this to work. The [java dependency for installation](http://pyjnius.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html) doesn't sound too terrible and I like how...

@bitsgalore thanks for sharing the links; that's great to know.

@chrismattmann Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how you developed the tika python bindings and the pros/cons of pyjnius vs JCC. > That said, in looking at textract, I'm wondering...
