This is the 1st commit message:
Replaced .iteritems() usage for .items()
Fixed some python 2 leftovers, as discussed in #267. Also formatted code according to Black.\nThis possibly breaks some python 2 compatibility
This is the commit message #2:
Reverted formatting and more spread six usage
As preparation for implementing Sphinx documentation, create a
separate function that builds and returns the argparse parser.
Move import argparse out of main to the top of the file.
* Removing all the "#!/usr/bin/env python" lines, they do not need for python3, solving issue number: #19.
* Restored all the shebangs in the tools and tests folders (because they are real executables) but used "#!/usr/bin/env python" instead of "#!/usr/bin/python" as this blog points out: https://www.peterbe.com/plog/importance-of-env
Removed also the shebang from pdfminer/psparser.py file.
Sorry, changes should have been more atomic.
*In pdf2txt.py:*
* Re-wrote main function to use argparse instead of optparse.
* Manually tested in Py2/Py3 to get partial consistency.
* Errors abound including Tags mode, but most modes weren't working at all in Py3 anyway.
* Py2 mode *probably* unchanged, cannot find any bugs yet...
* Kept old main function for posterity, for now.
*In utils:*
* Added a few compatibility functions (some string hax required chardet, new dependency):
- make_compat_bytes(in_str)-> (py3->bytes | py2->str)
- make_compat_str(in_str)-> (str)
- compatible_encode_method(bytesorstring, encoding, erraction)-> (str)
*In pdfdevice:*
* To handle different output filetypes in Py3, injected lots of calls to new utils methods,
as well as some six.PYX checks and logic. These changes are largely responsible for
enhanced Py2/Py3 consistency.
*In converter:*
* To handle output filetypes in Py2, injected a few checks and fixes particularly around the
py2 `str.encode` method and its *assumed* usual use-analogies in Py3.
