PyPDF2 dependency error

[sjvrijn]

pdftools currently errors for me when I did a fresh install with pipx and wanted to split some files:

$ pdftools split some_file.pdf -q 12 9
Traceback (most recent call last):

This seems related to #17, because while requirements.txt pins PyPDF2 to version 1.25.1, setup.py only lists install_requires=["PyPdf2"],

Are there any plans to update this package to the new usage?
Otherwise the simple fix would be to pin the version of PyPDF2 in setup.py,

Manually reinstalling in a fresh environment with the pinned PyPDF2 version still works:

$ pip install pdftools PyPDF2==1.25.1

  DEPRECATION: PyPDF2 is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559
