i have a python script which keeps crashing on:
subprocess.call(["pdftotext", pdf_filename])
the error being:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
the absolute path to the filename (which i am storing in a log file as i debug) is fine; on the command line, if i type pdftotext <pdf_filename_goes_here>
it works for any of the alledgedly bad file names. but when called using subprocess
in python i keep getting that error.
what is going on???
