count pages in a pdf

2007-11-27 Thread belred 
is it possible to parse a pdf file in python?  for starters, i would
like to count the number of pages in a pdf file.  i see there is a
project called ReportLab, but it seems to be a pdf generator... i
can't tell if i would be able to parse a pdf file programmically.

thanks for any recommendations.

h. There is a non-vanishing possibility that this pattern-
matching can give you false positives - not reliable.
