djvulibre-python is a set of Python bindings for the DjVuLibre library, an open source implementation of DjVu.
The following software is required to build djvulibre-python:
- DjVuLibre (≥ 3.5.26)
- Python (≥ 3.6)
- Cython (≥ 0.28)
- pkg-config (required on POSIX systems)
Additionally, the following software is needed to run the tests:
- DjVuLibre command-line tools
- Ghostscript
The easiest way to install djvulibre-python is from PyPI:
pip install djvulibre-python
Alternatively, you can use djvulibre-python without installing it, straight out of an unpacked source tarball or a VCS checkout.
It's also possible to install it from source for the current interpreter with:
pip install .
This repository is a Python3-only version of the original repository.
Due to the upstream repository having been archived (Issue #23), this fork will now be maintained on its own. Please note that I do not have any plans on implementing completely new features for now. Nevertheless, I am going to try to keep this fork working for at least the parts which I actually use on a regular basis (as part of ocrodjvu).
- Package requires Python ≥ 3.6.
- Conform to PEP8 coding style.
- Refactor build to not use the deprecated distutils module any more.
- Drop support for building the package on Windows. I do not use it there and there have not been automated tests for it. If someone wants to get this back to work and help maintaining it, feel free to open an issue.
- Add support for Cython 3.0, while dropping some old backwards-compatibility code.
Initial python-djvulibre development was supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education's grant no. N N519 384036 (2009–2012, https://bitbucket.org/jsbien/ndt).
