module 'tabula' has no attribute 'read_pdf'

Dear tabula Developers,

I just installed tabula on Windows 10 x64, Anaconda Python 3.6 with the following command: >c:\Programs\Anaconda\Scripts\pip.exe install tabula-py

After that I restarted my python kernel and imported tabula:

import tabula
df = tabula.read_pdf('my_pdf')

But I get the following error message:

AttributeError: module ‘tabula’ has no attribute ‘read_pdf’

I checked the module folder in Anaconda (c:/Programs/Anaconda/Lib/site-packages/tabula/) and I found the 2 jar files and the 2 py files, and the wrapper.py contains the read_pdf function.

Can you help me why I’m not able to load this function? I tried to check the installed version but

AttributeError: module ‘tabula’ has no attribute ‘version’

By the way pip returned with a success message after install:

Installing collected packages: tabula-py Successfully installed tabula-py-0.8.0

I use several external modules in Anaconda and never get any issue like this…

Thank you!

@mitchbregs you’ve installed tabula instead of tabula-py sudo pip install tabula-py

from tabula import wrapper
df = wrapper.read_pdf('my_pdf')
