ImportError: cannot import name parser with tika-python

Question

Done with :

parser-tika.py

  import tika 
  from tika import parser 
  parsed = parser.from_file('/path/to/file')
  print parsed["metadata"]
  print parsed["content"]

error : ImportError: cannot import name parser

env setup:

TIKA_VERSION=1.13.1
TIKA_SERVER_JAR=~/parserDev/tika/tika-server-1.13.jar
TIKA_SERVER_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8989/tika

maybe you created file `tika.py` and now it imports your file instead of expected module. — furas, Oct 02 '16 at 14:39
@Aswin can you give me a tip, where I need to put the TIKA_SERVER_JAR directive? — erfelipe, Jun 29 '19 at 21:41
@erfelipe You can put it anywhere and start server from the same location. It worked for me. — AlfiyaFaisy, Nov 12 '19 at 11:51

You can't have a file called tika.py in the current directory because that's the name of a different tika you are trying to import.

Simply rename your file.
