PyPDF2 or indentation issue

[siten0308]

Hello

i am trying to read each file from a directory, then read the text from the pdf file, however its giving me an error message, first below is the code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter import os   directory = os.listdir("C:\example")   for file in directory:    if file.endswith(".pdf"):     pfile = open("C:\example\\"+file,'rb')     pdfFile = PdfFileReader(open(pfile)     page = pdfFile.getPage(0)     print(page.extractText())

and its giving me this error message:

Error:
C:\WSDL>Read_PDF.py
  File "C:\WSDL\Read_PDF.py", line 9
    pdfFile = PdfFileReader(open(pfile)
                                      ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

however if i change the code to this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter import os   directory = os.listdir("C:\example")   for file in directory:    if file.endswith(".pdf"):     pfile = open("C:\example\\"+file,'rb')     print(pfile)     #pdfFile = PdfFileReader(open(pfile)     #page = pdfFile.getPage(0)     #print(page.extractText())

this code works, so i am not sure if this PyPDF2 is having issues, i checked if it was installed and it is, i did a pip install PyPDF2 and it says its already installed.

so i am not sure if i am using PyPDF2 correclty? any help would be great.

missing close parentheses line 9 as indicated in the error message.

Also indentation always 4-space,never single \ that way in filename Windows.
You open file 2 times in first code.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter import os   directory = os.listdir("E:/pdf/1") for file in directory:     if file.endswith(".pdf"):         pfile = "E:/pdf/1/" + file         pdfFile = PdfFileReader(open(pfile, 'rb'))         page = pdfFile.getPage(0)         print(page.extractText())
