[Package]: img2pdf

[dpuschek]

Why is it worth to add this package?

Hello,

img2pdf is a great tool to put images (like jpg, png) into a new pdf-file without reencoding.

Normaly there is a img2pdf package in debian based distributions

Thanks in advance

Additional information

I also try to install with "pip3 install img2pdf", but firstly it fails with many issues. I installed many extra packages from repository and now I stuck at "Building wheel for pikepdf (pyproject.toml) ...". If I wait a longer time at this point, I got a force close of termux.

I also try to install with "pip3 install img2pdf", but firstly it fails with many issues.

Could you share the output of that pip command in plain text format?

Actually building pikepdf takes too much time. It may be possible to package python-pikepdf.

I just confirmed that pikepdf takes about 2min to build from source on aarch64 with pre-compiled qpdf installed from APT repository.

Try to install it with the following commands:

pkg install qpdf
pip install pikepdf
pip install img2pdf

Should this package be added, since it can be installed directly via pip without any necessary modifications?

[licy183]

Actually I don't think that it is necessary to package.

BTW I think it would be better to open an issue as a tracker for Python packages that require specific dependencies to be installed successfully.
