The PageRange Class

class PyPDF2.PageRange(arg: Union[slice, PageRange, str])

Bases: object

A slice-like representation of a range of page indices.

For example, page numbers, only starting at zero.

The syntax is like what you would put between brackets [ ]. The slice is one of the few Python types that can’t be subclassed, but this class converts to and from slices, and allows similar use.

• PageRange(str) parses a string representing a page range.

• PageRange(slice) directly “imports” a slice.

• to_slice() gives the equivalent slice.

• str() and repr() allow printing.

• indices(n) is like slice.indices(n).

indices(n: int) → Tuple[int, int, int]

n is the length of the list of pages to choose from.

Returns arguments for range(). See help(slice.indices).

to_slice() → slice

Return the slice equivalent of this page range.

static valid(input: Any) → bool

True if input is a valid initializer for a PageRange.
