Hi I'm just getting started with python and trying to get some requisite libraries installed. Using Python 3.4.1 on OS X. I have installed PyPDF2 (with supposed success), yet I cannot seem to use the tools: sh-3.2# port select --list python Available versions for python: none python25-apple python26 python26-apple python27-apple python34 (active) sh-3.2# pip install PyPDF2 Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): PyPDF2 in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages Cleaning up... sh-3.2# ... import PyPDF2 Traceback (most recent call

this should be very simple question, for which I couldn't find answer by Google search: How to close file handle opened by pyPDF "PdfFileReader" Class Here is snippet: import os.path from pyPdf import PdfFileReader fname = 'my.pdf' input = PdfFileReader(file(fname, "rb")) os.rename(fname, 'my_renamed.pdf') which raises error [32] Thanks The operating system is preventing a file from being re-named while something else has it open.

Update: Thanks to stardt whose script works! The pdf is a page of another one. I tried the script on the other one, and it also correctly spit each pdf page, but the order of page numbers is sometimes right and sometimes wrong.

I would like to split the pdf page into two, with the original

Trying to install PyPdf2 module, I downloaded the zip and unzipped it, I executed python setup.py build and python setup.py install , but it seems that it has not been installed , when I try to import it from a python script, it returns an ImportError : import pyPdf Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named pyPdf Any help please. I'm using python 2.7 under windows XP. It appears the README file for PyPDF2 is incorrect. It suggests that import pyPdf should work, but it doesn't. This new module is imported as import PyPDF2 (as suggested
