Issues with Python tabula-py, error "unknown location"

Question

I installed tabula-py using pip install, and importing it gave no errors.

I also made sure JAVA was added to PATH (environment variable).

However, when I try to run:

from tabula import read_pdf

I get the error: ImportError: cannot import name 'read_pdf' from 'tabula' (unknown location)

Any ideas on how to proceed from here?

I am using Pycharm if that helps.

Answer 1

First you need to give a file name to java/python argument. You can locate your file by commanding

find . -name

and type cd and drag your file where your Pycharm project is at so that it automatically gives you the file name after cd. like

ex)) cd /User/wasabi/PycharmProjects/pythonsample2/

and after you command terminal to start using your JAVA/Python/ whatever, you can do

from tabula import read_pdf

I'm not an expert, but I solved the issue like yours in this way.

Answer 2

You don't need the parentheses on the import command

from tabula import read_pdf
