pdf2doi VS textract

For an arXiv paper is slightly more complicated because a query to export.arxiv.org returns data in XML format, so you need to parse it (I use feedparser) and then build a valid BibTeX string. You can take a look at the functions arxiv2bib and make_bibtex.

Scan the text inside the .pdf file, and check for any string that matches the pattern of a DOI or an arXiv ID. The text is extracted with PyPDF2 and textract.

And here are some libraries that might pique your interest although they don't strictly answer your question: - tqdm for adding a progress bar on for loops (it comes with useful information like iteration per second and estimated time needed to finish) - alive_progress adds a progress bar like tqdm, but it works even with generators and while loops which I don't think tqdm does. -timebudget, with just a decorator as soon as a function is completed it prints the time taken to execute it - send2trash for sending files to the trash bin instead of permanently deleting them - keyboard for sending keyboard inputs or check if a key is pressed - mouse same as keyboard but with mouse buttons - textract for extracting text from many types of file with a single interface. It supports documents, powerpoint presentations, csv, excels, images, gifs, audio, and many more

Huh. Must have made a mistake posting the original link. Anyway, this is what I meant: https://textract.readthedocs.io
