"I'm trying to import the 'PyPDF4' library in Pyodide using micropip but it's giving me an error:
ValueError: Can't find a pure Python 3 wheel for 'pypdf4'.
Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong?"
async function main() {
let pyodide = await loadPyodide();
await pyodide.loadPackage('micropip');
const micropip = pyodide.pyimport("micropip");
await micropip.install('PyPDF4');
pyodide.runPython(`
import PyPDF4
print(PyPDF4.__version__)
`);
}
main();
The pypdf4 package, though it appears to be pure-python, isn't distributing a "Pure Python" wheel (ending in -any-none.whl
) on PyPi. Micropip can only install packages that are either built in Pyodide or have a pure Python wheel on PyPI.
You have a couple of options, as explained in the Pyodide Docs - building a Python wheel for yourself, or submitting a ticket with the Pyodide maintainers to see if they'll build one for you.
