I’ve been looking at Apple’s Open Source website, where there is lots of python
sample code. But the examples I’ve tried don’t work. They all flag syntax
errors (usually about type conversion), or occasionally make the python process
crash!
Particularly, I’m looking at a script to parse the contents of a PDF file.
There are a few slightly different versions (and I don’t understand all the
different folders — pyobj 14, 26, 47, 49???)
https://opensource.apple.com/source/pyobjc/pyobjc-49/pyobjc/pyobjc-framework-Quartz-2.5.1/Examples/Programming%20with%20Quartz/ParsePageContents/parse_page_contents.py
<https://opensource.apple.com/source/pyobjc/pyobjc-49/pyobjc/pyobjc-framework-Quartz-2.5.1/Examples/Programming%20with%20Quartz/ParsePageContents/parse_page_contents.py>
https://opensource.apple.com/source/pyobjc/pyobjc-14.1.1/pyobjc/stable/pyobjc-framework-Quartz/Examples/Programming%20with%20Quartz/ParsePageContents/parse_page_contents.py
<https://opensource.apple.com/source/pyobjc/pyobjc-14.1.1/pyobjc/stable/pyobjc-framework-Quartz/Examples/Programming%20with%20Quartz/ParsePageContents/parse_page_contents.py>
But none of them work. I’ve tried them on PyObjc 2.5.1 and 3.2.1, which gives
different syntax errors. (Question 2, why does OS X ship with only 2.5.1?)
I’ve scoured the internet for better examples of python-quartz-pdf_parsing, but
not found anything. The Apple Dev Forums suggested that the code wasn’t
maintained by Apple, but by PyObjC.
Thanks for any help.
Ben
