Question

I try install this package...

pyPdf                     - PDF toolkit
PyPDF2                    - PDF toolkit
pyjon.reports             - Pyjon.Reports is a module bridging z3c.rml, genshi and pypdf together to provide a simple mean of creating templated pdf documents in python.
pypdf2xml                 - A reimplementation of pdftoxml in Python, using pdfMiner. Handles unicode characters better.
pypdflib                  - Pango Cairo based Python PDF Library
pypdf2table               - PDF table extraction tool

And i run install the package

$ pip install pyPdf                 
Downloading/unpacking pyPdf
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyPdf
  Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external pyPdf to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pyPdf
Storing debug log for failure in /tmp/tmpgEc3B

Whats the problem?

Solution 1

Specipy --allow-external, --allow-unverified options:

pip install --allow-external pyPdf --allow-unverified pyPdf pyPdf

Specifying --allow-unverified implies --allow-external; can be omitted.

pip install --allow-unverified pyPdf pyPdf

Solution 2

pyPdf is no longer updated, you can check it on their site here

So you'd better use other package like pyPdf2. If you insist to use pyPdf, you can try the method falsetru posted

I run the command that you answered. But I have this error. ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='stompstompstomp.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /pyPdf/ (Caused by <class 'socket.gaierror'>: [Errno -2] Name or service not known)' I am thinking change the package that has a dependencies with PyPdf. Like in my project xhtml2pdf or django-xhtml2pdf. Do you can suggest other package that does this functionality? Thanks for the help!!

@LucasSimon, pip install --allow-unverified .. works for me. See a screencast I just recorded
