Tabula-py - ImportError: No module named tabula

Question

I am trying to use Tabula-py to read a pdf. I installed tabula-py through pip install tabula-py

I have also installed the required dependencies

Answer 1

I faced this same issue in Ubuntu.

First, check the version of the JDK and JRE that are installed on your machine by running java --version and javac --version. Each should have a version greater than 7.

Then use pip3 to install tabula.

Answer 2

use this

 import camelot
 tables = camelot.read_pdf('foo.pdf')
 tables.export('foo.csv', f='csv', compress=True)

Answer 3

I got the same issue here when executing on Terminal. However, after I ran by starting with 'ipython3' instead of 'ipython', it worked perfectly. You have to make sure that tabula-py module is installed in python3 directory, not python2
