From 9d662aec25b28974bfc32f96db7d4cf0e6d69568 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jedarden Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 07:35:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat(pdftract-bnba5): implement PyO3 extract_stream entry point with StreamIterator Add callback-based streaming API to pdftract-core and PyO3 bindings that return a Python iterator yielding page dicts incrementally. This provides memory-efficient extraction for large PDFs via the iterator protocol. Core changes: - Add extract_pdf_streaming() callback-based function to pdftract-core - Export extract_pdf_streaming in lib.rs PyO3 bindings: - Add StreamIterator PyClass with __iter__/__next__ methods - Add extract_stream_fn() spawning background thread with mpsc channel - Add *Frame types for efficient Python dict serialization - Integrate into pdftract Python module Closes: pdftract-bnba5 --- crates/pdftract-core/src/extract.rs | 250 ++++++++++++++ crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs | 3 +- crates/pdftract-py/src/extract_stream.rs | 406 +++++++++++++++++++++++ crates/pdftract-py/src/lib.rs | 10 +- notes/pdftract-bnba5.md | 73 ++++ 5 files changed, 740 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/pdftract-py/src/extract_stream.rs create mode 100644 notes/pdftract-bnba5.md diff --git a/crates/pdftract-core/src/extract.rs b/crates/pdftract-core/src/extract.rs index 899223b..b8afc36 100644 --- a/crates/pdftract-core/src/extract.rs +++ b/crates/pdftract-core/src/extract.rs @@ -1051,6 +1051,256 @@ pub fn extract_pdf_ndjson( }) } +/// Extract text and structure from a PDF file, invoking a callback for each page. +/// +/// This is the callback-based streaming variant of `extract_pdf`.
