After build project I see this error.
Also, I see that package pdfminer.six-20200720 did release today.

[Oleh-Hrebchuk]

pip install pdfminer.six==20200517 if install older version all works fine

[vinayak-mehta]

I'll fix it right now and create a release.

[vinayak-mehta]

@xamey I saw your PR. I'll fix it here.

@vinayak-mehta pdfminer.six released version 20200726 today, which reverts PDFTextExtractionNotAllowedError back to PDFTextExtractionNotAllowed. I had to install pdfminer.six 20200720 to get it working again with camelot 0.8.1.

[vinayak-mehta]

Yes, I pointed out the breaking change on their gitter channel and a contributor reverted it. 😅 pdfminer/pdfminer.six#461

I'm releasing camelot 0.8.2 with the revert. #175

[vinayak-mehta]

Maybe I should also yank 0.8.1 on PyPI.

Just installed this on conda, got the same error "cannot import PDFTextExtractionNotAllowed". I imported pdfminer.six and checked, it has PDFTextExtractionNotAllowedError. Realized that conda ditribution is till on 0.8.0.
So uninstalled from conda and installed with pip "camelot-py[cv]". This imports without error.

This is what worked for me also.

[vinayak-mehta]

Please install the latest v0.8.2 with pip install --upgrade camelot-py. This version for conda will be released soon. Right now, there's a blocker to do that: conda-forge/camelot-py-feedstock#20

This worked.

Had to also run

pip install --upgrade pdfminer
