Trouble using pdfminer
up vote

I am using python 3.6 on Mac OS X. I am using the solution posted here for using pdfminer as a library. I am able to use it as such on Windows 10, but not on my Mac. I get the following error:
from pdf_to_txt import convert_pdf_to_txt
>>Error: cannot import name 'maxint'
Even after going into the pdfminer files and changing it to maxsize, I get a host of other errors. After some searching, this appears to be an issue with python 3 compatibility, and the solution is to use pdfminer.six. However, after installing, I get the same error; checking pdfminer.__version__ gives me 20140328 whereas pdfminer.six's most recent version is 20181108.
How do I make sure I'm using the correct installed version of pdfminer?
