      Summary :



      I am trying to parse a PDF using textract. textract.process works fine when called via terminal but fails when the same code is launched via launchctl



      (Note : xxxxxxxxxx is my username crossed out)


      Error Message :



      The command pdf2txt.py /Users/xxxxxxxxxx/Downloads/a.pdf failed because the executable
      pdf2txt.py is not installed on your system. Please make sure the appropriate dependencies are installed before using textract: http://textract.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html



      $ which pdf2txt.py
      /usr/local/bin/pdf2txt.py

      $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/pdf2txt.py
      -rwxrwxrwx 1 root admin 4181 Mar 1 07:56 /usr/local/bin/pdf2txt.py


      Here is the path when (logged by sys.path in my python code) launched via terminal :
