I need install python-pypdf. So I tried to install it with:

sudo apt-get install python-pypdf

But I get this error:

E: Package 'python-pypdf' has no installation candidate

Why?

  • What's your Ubuntu release and what's the output of apt-cache search pypdf? – David Foerster Jul 01 '17 at 08:25

  • Again, what's your Ubuntu release? And could you please [edit] your post, when you want to add information? Especially file or program output listings (with the help of the {} button in the editor toolbar) will be much more readable there; alternatively you can use a pastie service for longer listings and include the link of your pastie in your question. Overall it’s best to have everything relevant in one place. Additionally, comments may be deleted for various reasons. Thanks. – David Foerster Jul 01 '17 at 08:42

You can simply install it using pip or pip3 if you're using Python3.
The command is: 

pip install pyPdf  # use pip3 with Python3

Ok, from your comments, you are not using Ubuntu, but Parrot Security OS.

Below command shows where is python-pypdf in my Ubuntu 16.04

$ apt show python-pypdf
Package: python-pypdf
Version: 1:1.13-3
Priority: optional
Section: universe/python

For Ubuntu, below command can add/enable some additional repository which has community maintained free software including python-pypdf

$ sudo apt-add-repository universe
$ sudo apt update

I think you should search/ask this question in Parrot Community.

In Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 16.10 open the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install python-pypdf

Upstream Debian repositories no longer have the python-pypdf package in the latest stable version of Debian. In Ubuntu 17.04 (and later), open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install python-pypdf2 # Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit (Python 2)
