Extractous Python Bindings

This project provides Python bindings for the Extractous library, allowing you to use extractous functionality in your Python applications.

Installation

To install the extractous Python bindings, you can use pip:

pip install extractous

Usage

Extracting a file to string:

from extractous import Extractor

# Create a new extractor
extractor = Extractor()
extractor.set_extract_string_max_length(1000)

# Extract text from a file
result, metadata = extractor.extract_file_to_string("README.md")
print(result)
print(metadata)

Extracting a file(URL / bytearray) to a buffered stream:

from extractous import Extractor

extractor = Extractor()
# for file
reader, metadata = extractor.extract_file("tests/quarkus.pdf")
# for url
# reader, metadata = extractor.extract_url("https://www.google.com")
# for bytearray
# with open("tests/quarkus.pdf", "rb") as file:
#     buffer = bytearray(file.read())
# reader, metadata = extractor.extract_bytes(buffer)

result = ""
buffer = reader.read(4096)
while len(buffer) > 0:
    result += buffer.decode("utf-8")
    buffer = reader.read(4096)

print(result)
print(metadata)

Extracting a file with OCR:

from extractous import Extractor, TesseractOcrConfig

extractor = Extractor().set_ocr_config(TesseractOcrConfig().set_language("deu"))
result, metadata = extractor.extract_file_to_string("../../test_files/documents/eng-ocr.pdf")

print(result)
print(metadata)
