**Note:** Camelot only works with:
- Python 2, with Python 3 support [on the way](https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot/issues/81).
- Text-based PDFs and not scanned documents. If you can click-and-drag to select text in your table in a PDF viewer, then your PDF is text-based. Support for image-based PDFs using OCR is [planned](https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot/issues/101).
