How to use the api.ocr_file() about ocrspace

[FYJNEVERFOLLOWS]

@FYJNEVERFOLLOWS Would you mind providing a minimal example of code that causes this problem for you, along with any image files you're using? I'm not able to reproduce this issue on my machine.

I just got the code snippet provided by "Zaargh" and the wrapper provided by you mixed up. The probelm is solved. Thanks for your comment!

There is problem in your path. You must change path to 'D:\shot.jpg' in Windows os. Also you can use method like this text = api.ocr_file(open(path, 'rb'))

hello,
I use the following code to run, but it is usually error!
---------------code-----------------------
import os
import ocrspace
here = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file))
image_path = os.path.join(here, 'shot.jpg')
print(image_path)
api = ocrspace.API()
text = api.ocr_file(open(image_path, 'rb'))
print(text)
----------------error--------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

files={filename: f},

NameError: name 'filename' is not defined

I fixed this on my Python 2.7 installation on Windows by going to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\ocrspace\main.py and changing:

files={filename: f}

to

files={"filename": f}

I use the following code, it cannot work and show the error below every time.

---------------code-----------------------

res = api.ocr_file('myfilepath') # either of these two expressions will cause the error below

res = api.ocr_file(open(r"myfilepath", "rb")) # either of these two expressions will cause the error below

print(res)

----------------error--------------------------------------
File "myocrspace.py", line 11, in
res = api.ocr_file('myfilepath')

return self._parse(r.json())
