use Page object in a method's signature throws

[maayansharon10]

Hi,
Newbie question here :)
I have this piece of code :

import pdfplumber
def contains_rects(page_num, page):
  return len(page.rects) > 3 

I want to change the method signature to be more informative, but I cannot seem to specify Page as an object, for example -
def contains_rects_curves_tables(page_num: int, page: pdfplumber.Page) -> int:
but "pdfplumber.Page" throws.

also tried -
from pdfplumber import Page def contains_rects_curves_tables(page_num: int, page: Page) -> int:
but then the import line throws
ImportError: cannot import name 'Page' from 'pdfplumber' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pdfplumber/__init__.py)

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi @maayansharon10 Appreciate your interest in the library. The reason is because the Page class is not exposed. However, if you want to still import it and use as a type hint, you can use pdfplumber.page.Page instead of pdfplumber.Page. Notice the .page. import

Thank you @samkit-jain ! Appreciate the explanation, from pdfplumber.page import Page is just what I've been looking for 👍
