This is the new version 1.8 of PyMuPDF (formerly python-fitz), a Python binding which supports MuPDF 1.8 - "a lightweight PDF and XPS viewer".
MuPDF can access files in PDF, XPS, OpenXPS and EPUB (e-book) formats, and it is known for its top performance and high rendering quality.
With PyMuPDF you therefore can also access files with extensions *.pdf, *.xps, *.oxps or *.epub from your Python scripts.
Normally it should be as easy as running python setup.py install once MuPDF is in place.
Refer to this document for details.
Please have a look at the basic demos or the examples which contain complete, working programs.
You can also access the complete documentation as a PDF or as a Windows Help file.
PyMuPDF is distributed under GNU GPL v3.
You can also find PyMuPDF on the Python Package Index PyPI.
