Assuming that pypdf and pypdf2 have compatible APIs, another option would be to simply patch pdfshuffler with something like: try: import pypdf except ImportError: import pypdf2 ...which would avoid having the need for restricting the dependency on python-pypdf to specific versions. Adding pypdf2 maintainer to cc list...how compatible is the pypdf2 fork with the original pypdf, and how much work would migrating applications that depend on the older pypdf to the forked version?
