Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : PyMuPDF
  Version         : 1.9.2
  Upstream Author : Ruikai Liu, Jorj X. McKie
* URL             : https://github.com/rk700/PyMuPDF
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : python binding for mupdf

This is version 1.9.2 of PyMuPDF (formerly python-fitz), a Python
binding which supports MuPDF 1.9a - "a lightweight PDF and XPS
viewer".
MuPDF can access files in PDF, XPS, OpenXPS and EPUB (e-book) formats,
and it is known for its top performance and high rendering quality.
With PyMuPDF you therefore can also access files with extensions
*.pdf, *.xps, *.oxps or *.epub from your Python scripts.

I'll package this under the python group.

Hi Sean,

I ended up deciding to remove PyMuPDF (apart from optional tests in the test suite, anyway) from the next major release of ocrmypdf - I'll still need your support with some new dependencies, but I think I've found a solution that should more acceptable to Debian and will work better for me as well.

I will start working on the new packaging.  Thank you for the new
