camelot

Dependencies

Currently, camelot works under Python 2.7.

The required dependencies include pdfminer, numpy, opencv.

For debugging, matplotlib is required. For runnings tests in the future, nose may be required.

camelot also uses poppler-utils, more specifically pdfseparate to separate a pdf into pages, with ImageMagick's convert to convert each page into an image.
