AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'close'

Hi Guys,

Got this error below. I thought it is the server issue, so killed the process running on 9998 (as advised in #166). But it does not work.

FYI, I can run the code smoothly in another virtual env.

here is the code snippet.

Thanks. Luke

Seems like I am having the same issue, I proposed a fix here : #253

Hope this helps!

I really like the project, thanks for the work!

I am getting the same issue as well.

I am parsing tika from:

doc = parser.from_file(file_name, serverEndpoint=http://localhost:9998/rmeta/text, headers={"X-Tika-PDFextractInlineImages": "true"})

I am running Tika 2.0.0 server locally, with the intention of replacing this with a docker container.
