Python 3 - problem when file name is str, not bytes

[manish59]

import pdfparser.poppler as pdf

pdf.Document(r"Manish.pdf") Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "pdfparser/poppler.pyx", line 116, in pdfparser.poppler.Document.cinit TypeError: expected bytes, str found

Its in redhat Can anyone help to fix this please.

I'm assuming you're using python 3, right? - please confirm version. Currently file name is char*, which means bytes in python3 - so you should use pdf.Document(b"Manish.pdf")

In future versions we should improve interface to accept also strings in Python 3.

Yes Im using in python. Its working. But the rgb values which Im getting are like this r:0.89 g:0.42, b:0.04 but when i check its not showing the same color i need. Do I need to do any thing here to get actucal rgb values in range of 0-255

Actually I figured the color space. You can close this issue. Thanks for helping though. Can we detect any hyperlinks using this tool

Can we use this library in windows ?

See #17 - theoretically yes, but requires advanced win,python, c++ skills.

I'm keeping this open as there is potential improvement for python 3.
