bug/partion_pdf import statement not completing execution

[viboognesh]

Describe the bug
Import Statement is taking forever to execute:
I have tried to import

from unstructured.partition.pdf import partition_pdf

and the import statement is taking forever to execute.

I am using conda python - 3.10.

To Reproduce
I am running this code in a conda environment. I created an unstructured environment using the environment.yml file in the GitHub repository. I installed Poppler using conda forge and tesseract-ocr by downloading the .exe file. The first line of code is

from unstructured.partition.pdf import partition_pdf

and it is completing the execution. There are no errors but, it is not completing the execution.

Expected behaviour
I just expect the execution to be complete, but it is not completing even after 2 hours of running the code.

@viboognesh does this also happen if you say from unstructured.partition.text import partition_text()?

Trying to narrow down whether it is something specific to PDF.

@scanny
This happens with most of the partition packages that I tried to import

I have no problem when I try to import partition_via_api

I have no problem with import unstructured

These import statements don't complete even if I leave the computer running for a hour

Can you try interrupting the wait with ^C and check the stack trace that you get? Maybe do that a few times and see if the results are consistent then post it here. That should give some idea where things are hanging.

Shouldn't have to wait more than say 30 seconds before interrupting with Ctrl-C. Wherever it is hanging, it likely will arrive there within that time.

Closing as incomplete.
