can load the pages I need

[Thug0416]

pdf.load(0, 2, 3, range(4,8))
gives me this error
TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'range' and 'int'

Same error message here.

It occures when you both

• enable caching and
• provide a range() for page numbers

  File "C:\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\pdfquery\pdfquery.py", line 625, in _cached_pages
    if target_page >= 0:
TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'range' and 'int'

I'm using Python 3.6 on Windows 7 x64

Minimal example:

import pdfquery
from pdfquery.cache import FileCache

pdf = pdfquery.PDFQuery("HH_2018_Band_2.pdf", parse_tree_cacher=FileCache("cache/"))
pdf.load(range(1,10))

Workaround:

You could provide a large number of numbers via list(range(1,100) but that will result in another Exception because the cache file name is too long and cannot be written to.

To work around that issue, you could change the way the library creates the cache_key

pdfquery/pdfquery/pdfquery.py

Line 461 in f1c05d1

cache_key = "_".join(map(str, _flatten(page_numbers)))

For example, use the md5 hash of all page numbers...
