Hello there,

I would like to install pyPdf (see this link (http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/)), but i have some troubles. The setup.py file does not help, nor do any of the documents appended.
Can someone help me through?
Thanks

I have a feeling you simply copy pyPdf to the location where your other python libraries are...
Then you just use the 'from...import...' phrase to import the libraries and follow the commands in the README to use the functions the whole thing offers...
The setup.py doesn't seem to really setup anything; it just seems to be information about the library and its developer...

Actually, extract the archive navigate to pyPdf-1.12/. and type
python setup.py.
You then get these instructions for use:

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
