pip install pdfminer错误（在Windows上为python 2）

Question

[当我在Windows Server 2012上使用Python 2.7运行pip install pdfminer时，出现以下错误：

Running setup.py install for pdfminer ... error

这曾经很有效，而且我不知道如何解决。

Answer 1

最近使用python 2的pdfminer dropped the support。

您可以尝试使用pdfminer.six，这是pdfminer的一个分支，它同时支持Python 2和3。但是，对Python 2的支持将于2020年1月停止提供，因此只需要几个月就可以买到。
