Where did you get that idea from ? I searched for example code or minimal docs on 0.5.2. I found none locally. So I went to the web and googled but found none. So I downloaded the source package from the web site (which was 0.5.4). It contained a three-liner Python example on how to use libextractor-python. I happened to think to myself that 0.5.2 was close enough to 0.5.4 to warrant assuming that the *most basic* API of the package would be the same. I then filed two bug reports: 1) there are no docs on usage to be found in the official 0.5.2 deb 2) going by docs that are two minor-minor versions ahead 0.5.2 cannot be made to work The latter may of course possibly be due to an API change between 0.5.2 and 0.5.4. However, using standard Python introspection (such as __dict__, __doc__ and friends) did not show any obvious API either. So I reported the package to not work. Now, I'd be interested in how you suggest people go about finding out how 0.5.2 works ? Don't assume users are stupid. Not everything is pilot error.
