[python]has no attribute 'TessBaseAPI'

Question

I got an error when I compiled code blow:

import tessercat
api = tesseract.TessBaseAPI()

The error is:

AttributeError:'module' object has no attribute 'TessBaseAPI'

I have already installed tesseract via pip. The Python version is 2.7 Windows 32bit.

Answer 1

Make sure that you don't need to import a sublcass ie from tesseract import XYZ

Also - not sure if this was a typo but your import module is misspelled.

Answer 2

I think you are trying to use python wrapper of tesseract (python-tesseract). Make sure you are using the right version. You can check this one: python-tesseract-0.7.6.win32-py2.7.exe
