This is from the commit message I've written for the upstream pull request (jflesch/pyocr#62): This is a bit more involved, because Tesseract 3.05.00 comes not only with improvements but also with a few quirks we need to deal with. The first quirk is that the order arguments of the `tesseract' command now matters and the list of configurations has to be at the end of the command line. So we add a new attribute tesseract_flags to the BaseBuilder class that contains a list of all the flags to pass to `tesseract', the tesseract_configs attribute however remains pretty much the same but now only really contains a list of configs instead of being mixed with flag arguments. Another quirk has to do with Leptonica >= 1.74 which Tesseract 3.05.00 now requires. Leptonica has special handling of files that reside in /tmp and assumes that it's an internal temporary file of Leptonica. In order to deal with it, we now run Tesseract in a temporary directory, which contains the input/output files and use the relative name of these files because Leptonica only searches for path names beginning with /tmp. Fortunately the last item we need to address is not really a quirk, but an API change. In Tesseract 3.05.00 there is now a new function called TessBaseAPIDetectOrientationScript(), which doesn't fill the OSResults object anymore but now allows to pass the values we're interested in directly by reference. We need to use this new function because the old function TessBaseAPIDetectOS() now *always* returns false. I've tested this specifically on NixOS and in conjunction with Paperwork (the only package that's using pyocr so far) and all the tests of the dependency chain are now succeeding. However, I didn't do manual tests of Paperwork though. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org> |
