'Rect' object has no attribute 'get_area'

[fareshan]

Description of the bug

get_area became not working

I get this error: AttributeError: 'Rect' object has no attribute 'get_area'

How to reproduce the bug

Open Google Colab and put this script:

%pip install pymupdf

import fitz  # PyMuPDF

# Create a dummy PDF document
doc = fitz.open()
page = doc.new_page()

# Test the get_area() function
area_in_inches = page.rect.get_area("in")

print(f"Area of the page in square inches: {area_in_inches}")

=> Error:

AttributeError: 'Rect' object has no attribute 'get_area'

Documentation:
https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rect.html#Rect.get_area

The problem exists even in older versions of pymupdf.
I was not getting the problem with the same code before. I don't know what has changed recently so that get_area became not usable

PyMuPDF version

1.26.5

Operating system

MacOS

Python version

3.11

Update: it is a regression with version 1.26.5

1. run

%pip install pymupdf==1.26.5

import fitz  # PyMuPDF

# Create a dummy PDF document
doc = fitz.open()
page = doc.new_page()

# Test the get_area() function
area_in_inches = page.rect.get_area("in")

=> Error

2. Restart Runtime

3. run

%pip install pymupdf==1.26.4

import fitz  # PyMuPDF

# Create a dummy PDF document
doc = fitz.open()
page = doc.new_page()

# Test the get_area() function
area_in_inches = page.rect.get_area("in")

=> No Error

Thanks for reporting this, it is indeed a bug in 1.26.5.
