On importing pdfminer.high_level, I am getting an error cannot import name open_filename from pdfminer.utils.

I tried following steps:

  1. pip3 install pdfminer.six
  2. import pdfminer
  3. import pdfminer.high_level

(and encountered error on this line)

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

Hi I had the same issue.

I had installed both pdfminer and pdfminer.six. Please keep pdfminer.six and uninstall pdfminer with:

pip uninstall pdfminer
