Evince and Poppler libraries dont work

[Luis Alcantara]

Thanks a lot, however, I waste my time trying using the packages EVINCE AND POPPLER DOESNT WORK I get this error:

"AttributeError: 'gi.repository.Poppler' object has no attribute 'document_new_from_file'"

MY CODE

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk,Gdk,Pango
from gi.repository import Poppler

Poppler.document_new_from_file("D:/1.pdf", None)

EVINCE doesnt work too, I get this error:

«C:\Python34\lib\evince\4\backends»: No such file or directoryss

(python.exe:8920): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Error opening directory “C:\Python34\lib\evince\4\backends”: No such file or directory

MY CODE

from gi.repository import Gtk, Gio
from gi.repository import EvinceDocument
from gi.repository import EvinceView

class HelloWorldApp(Gtk.Application):

self.connect("activate", self.on_activate)

def on_activate(self, data=None):
window = Gtk.Window(type=Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL)
window.set_title("Evince Gtk3 Python Example")
window.set_border_width(24)
scroll = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
window.add(scroll)
EvinceDocument.init()
doc = EvinceDocument.Document.factory_get_document('D:/1.pdf')
view = EvinceView.View()
model = EvinceView.DocumentModel()
model.set_document(doc)
view.set_model(model)
scroll.add(view)
window.show_all()
self.add_window(window)

if name == "main":
app = HelloWorldApp()
app.run(None)

for poppler, do you mean Poppler.Document.new_from_file() ? document_new_from_file is the C function, please see docs.

About evince it looks like it's not properly relocatable I will fix it in next revision, thanks! As workaround try re-run with current directory: C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\gnome

Don't forget use proper URI for file path.

Thanks for answer me, yes, I commited a mistake with Poppler, may you give some documentation of Poppler in gtk3 with python?, but I fixed my mistake and after many many hours, I achieved show my pdf file in my python program. There is not information about Poppler in windows, even I wasted a lot of time trying to find a correct URI for windows,the correct URI is "file:///D:/file.pdf", with "D:/file.pdf" I got error.

About Evince, I copied all directories from C:\Python34\lib\evince\4\backends to C:\python34\Lib, however it does not work yet, it would be so good if we could have evince in our windows gtk environment.

Thanks for your work, Python is a beautiful language, and is a gift have it in windows with a powerful gui framework like Gtk3, with a easy installation. Greetings from Perú.

errr I'm not YOUR TEACHER, FYI I have tested poppler in python since I included it in the first release!!! and the issue with Evince is not mine either it was most likely an ambiguous assumption by upstream developer. I'm reluctant to include application oriented thing like evince, people should use poppler or gepub and COOK their code. not use high level library like evince.

btw thanks for your review (sarcasm) at homepage.
the docs is included in installer!
