41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the

+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must

+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed

+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

32
+ **Turn PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, Markdown, email and text into LLM-ready elements, with
33
+ zero required dependencies.**
34
+
35
+ tryworks implements the document-partitioning call path of
36
+ [unstructured](https://github.com/Unstructured-IO/unstructured): the same `partition()` function,
37
+ the same element types and metadata, the same chunking, the same JSON. It leaves out what most
38
+ pipelines never call, namely OCR, layout models and ingest connectors, and the 2 GB of
39
+ dependencies they bring.
40
+
41
+ ```python
42
+ from tryworks.partition.auto import partition
43
+ from tryworks.chunking.title import chunk_by_title
44
+
45
+ elements = partition("quarterly-report.docx")
46
+ chunks = chunk_by_title(elements, max_characters=1000)
47
+
48
+ for chunk in chunks:
49
+ print(chunk.metadata.page_number, chunk.text[:80])
50
+ ```
51
+
52
+ > The name: tryworks were the brick furnaces on whaling ships that rendered raw blubber into oil.
53
+
54
+ ## Why
55
+
56
+ Measured on Linux x86-64 with Python 3.12, reading the same document types:
57
+
58
+ | | `unstructured[docx,pptx,xlsx,md,csv,pdf]` | `tryworks[pdf]` |
59
+ |---|---:|---:|
60
+ | Packages installed | 149 | **2** |
61
+ | Download size | 3,257 MB | **3.6 MB** |
62
+ | Installed size (unstructured with CPU-only torch) | 2.0 GB | **9 MB** |
63
+ | Importing `partition` plus the PDF and DOCX partitioners | 4.4–6.2 s | **0.15–0.39 s** |
64
+ | Partitioning the 9-document test corpus, first call included | 7.2 s | **0.59 s** |
65
+ | Security advisories ever published for the installed packages | 701 | **0** |
66
+ | Lines of library code | 34,171 | 5,449 |
67
+
68
+ Base `tryworks` without the PDF extra is a single 80 KB wheel with no dependencies.
69
+
70
+ In practice that means:
71
+
72
+ - **It fits in AWS Lambda.** The zip deployment limit is 250 MB unpacked, and it cannot be raised.
73
+ - **Cold starts are fast**, and since August 2025 AWS bills the Lambda init phase.
74
+ - **Security review is short.** Two packages to approve, pin and scan, where unstructured needs
75
+ 149. Air-gapped and regulated environments review each dependency individually.
76
+ - **The supply-chain surface is small.** Most advisories in a large tree come from its transitive
77
+ dependencies, not from the library you asked for.
78
+
79
+ Numbers come from `scripts/measure.py` (exact resolution with `uv pip compile`, advisory counts
80
+ from OSV.dev) and from real installs; see [Reproducing the numbers](#reproducing-the-numbers).
81
+ Neither tree had an open advisory against the versions resolved when this was measured; the
82
+ 701 are historical, which is what a scanner and a triage process work through over time.
83
+
84
+ ## Install
85
+
86
+ ```bash
87
+ pip install "tryworks @ git+https://github.com/ezzcodeezzlife/tryworks"
88
+ pip install "tryworks[pdf] @ git+https://github.com/ezzcodeezzlife/tryworks" # PDF support
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ Python 3.10 or newer. PDF support adds [pypdfium2](https://github.com/pypdfium2-team/pypdfium2),
92
+ bindings to PDFium, the PDF engine used in Chrome. Everything else uses the standard library.
93
+
94
+ ## Use
95
+
96
+ ### Partition
97
+
98
+ ```python
99
+ from tryworks.partition.auto import partition
100
+
101
+ elements = partition("report.pdf") # type from extension or content
102
+ elements = partition(file=open("memo.docx", "rb")) # file objects work too
103
+ elements = partition(url="https://example.com/post") # http(s) URLs
104
+
105
+ for el in elements:
106
+ print(el.category, el.metadata.page_number, el.text)
107
+ # Title 1 Quarterly Operations Memo
108
+ # NarrativeText 1 Revenue grew eleven percent year over year, ...
109
+ # ListItem 1 Expand the Rotterdam warehouse
110
+ # Table 1 Warehouse totals Units Rotterdam KR-1001 1200 ...
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ Each format also has its own function with unstructured's signature: `partition_pdf`,
114
+ `partition_docx`, `partition_pptx`, `partition_xlsx`, `partition_html`, `partition_md`,
115
+ `partition_text`, `partition_csv`, `partition_tsv`, `partition_email`, `partition_json`.
116
+
117
+ ### Chunk
118
+
119
+ ```python
120
+ from tryworks.chunking.title import chunk_by_title
121
+ from tryworks.chunking.basic import chunk_elements
122
+
123
+ chunks = chunk_by_title(elements, max_characters=1000, overlap=100)
124
+ chunks = partition("report.pdf", chunking_strategy="by_title", max_characters=1000)
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ Sections start at each Title, small sections are combined, long text is split at newlines or
128
+ spaces, and tables get chunks of their own. Tables too large for one chunk are split by row
129
+ into `TableChunk` elements that keep valid HTML in `metadata.text_as_html`.
130
+
131
+ ### Serialize
132
+
133
+ ```python
134
+ from tryworks.staging.base import elements_to_json, elements_from_json, elements_to_md
135
+
136
+ json_text = elements_to_json(elements) # same JSON as unstructured, readable by it
137
+ elements = elements_from_json(text=json_text)
138
+ markdown = elements_to_md(elements)
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ ### Command line
142
+
143
+ ```bash
144
+ tryworks report.pdf # JSON
145
+ tryworks memo.docx --format markdown
146
+ tryworks https://example.com/post --format text --chunking-strategy by_title --max-characters 800
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ ## Moving from unstructured
150
+
151
+ Change the package name in your imports:
152
+
153
+ ```diff
154
+ - from unstructured.partition.auto import partition
155
+ - from unstructured.chunking.title import chunk_by_title
156
+ + from tryworks.partition.auto import partition
157
+ + from tryworks.chunking.title import chunk_by_title
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ For code you can't edit, such as a third-party library that imports `unstructured` itself, register
161
+ tryworks under the `unstructured` import names before that code is imported:
162
+
163
+ ```python
164
+ import tryworks
165
+ tryworks.alias_as_unstructured()
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ This only affects imports in the current process. It installs nothing named `unstructured`.
169
+
170
+ ## Formats
171
+
172
+ | Format | Extensions | Implementation | What you get |
173
+ |---|---|---|---|
174
+ | PDF | `.pdf` | PDFium via `pypdfium2` | Text blocks in reading order (multi-column aware), titles, lists, headers and footers, coordinates, page numbers |
175
+ | Word | `.docx` | `zipfile` + `ElementTree` | Style-based titles and lists, tables with merged cells, section headers and footers, links, bold/italic, page breaks |
176
+ | PowerPoint | `.pptx` | `zipfile` + `ElementTree` | One page per slide, titles, bullets with levels, tables, speaker notes |
177
+ | Excel | `.xlsx` | `zipfile` + `ElementTree` | Each sheet split into sub-tables, captions as text, dates and numbers formatted |
178
+ | HTML | `.html`, `.htm` | `html.parser` | Headings, paragraphs, nested lists, tables, code, images, links, emphasis; navigation and forms dropped |
179
+ | Markdown | `.md` | Built-in renderer | Same elements as HTML |
180
+ | Text | `.txt` | Standard library | Paragraphs classified as titles, prose, list items, emails, addresses |
181
+ | CSV, TSV | `.csv`, `.tsv` | `csv` | One table, delimiter detected |
182
+ | Email | `.eml` | `email` | Body with sender, recipients, subject and date; attachments partitioned |
183
+ | Elements | `.json` | `json` | Elements saved by `elements_to_json`, from either library |
184
+
185
+ ## Compatibility with unstructured
186
+
187
+ A generated corpus with one realistic document per format is partitioned by both libraries and
188
+ compared element by element ([report](compat/REPORT.md), [script](scripts/compat.py)). A
189
+ [workflow](.github/workflows/compat.yml) repeats the comparison weekly against the latest
190
+ unstructured release.
191
+
192
+ Against unstructured 0.27.5:
193
+
194
+ - **97%** of upstream elements have a tryworks element with identical text,
195
+ - **97%** of those have the same element type,
196
+ - **94%** have the same element id (ids hash filename, text, page and position, so this also
197
+ checks ordering),
198
+ - `parent_id`, `filetype`, `page_number`, `page_name`, `link_urls`, `emphasized_text_contents`,
199
+ `header_footer_type`, `sent_from` and `subject` agree on every aligned element.
200
+
201
+ Every remaining difference in the report is one of the deliberate differences listed below.
202
+
203
+ ### Deliberate differences
204
+
205
+ | Where | unstructured | tryworks | Why |
206
+ |---|---|---|---|
207
+ | Markdown lists | Python-Markdown joins a numbered list with the bullet list after it and turns items next to blank lines into paragraphs | Separate lists, every item a `ListItem` | CommonMark behavior; bullets stay bullets |
208
+ | PDF bullets | Consecutive bullet lines can merge into one `ListItem` | One `ListItem` per bullet | Each bullet is its own item |
209
+ | PDF columns | Text of a right-hand column can come after the page footer | Left column, right column, then footer | Reading order |
210
+ | PDF coordinates | pdfminer glyph boxes | PDFium glyph boxes | Within about 1 pt |
211
+ | DOCX merged cells | 0.27.5 repeats the text in every merged cell | `colspan` / `rowspan` | Matches unstructured's main branch |
212
+ | Language | `langdetect` | Script detection plus stopword profiles for 18 languages | No model dependency; results can differ on tables and fragments |
213
+
214
+ ### Not included
215
+
216
+ - **OCR and layout models.** `strategy="hi_res"` and `"ocr_only"` raise `NotImplementedError`, and
217
+ scanned PDFs without embedded text produce a warning and no elements. Use unstructured or an OCR
218
+ service for those.
219
+ - **Formats:** images, audio, `.doc`, `.ppt`, `.xls`, `.msg`, `.rtf`, `.odt`, `.epub`, `.rst`,
220
+ `.org`, `.xml`. Unsupported files raise `UnsupportedFileFormatError`, with a conversion hint.
221
+ - **PDF table structure and image extraction.** PDF tables come out as text blocks.
222
+ - **Pictures in DOCX and PPTX** are not emitted as `Image` elements.
223
+ - **Token-based chunking** (`max_tokens`) raises `NotImplementedError`; use `max_characters`.
224
+ - Ingest connectors, the hosted API client, and staging bricks for labeling tools.
225
+
226
+ Text classification uses the same rules as unstructured, but detects verbs with a compact
227
+ lexicon instead of NLTK. On borderline text such as short fragments, a paragraph can come out as
228
+ `UncategorizedText` where unstructured says `NarrativeText`, or the reverse.
229
+
230
+ ## Untrusted documents
231
+
232
+ Documents are parsed defensively: zip-bomb checks on Office files, rejection of XML entity
233
+ declarations, and caps on spreadsheet cells, PDF pages, HTML nesting and chunk payloads, all
234
+ adjustable through environment variables. Only http(s) URLs are fetched. See
235
+ [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
236
+
237
+ ## Reproducing the numbers
238
+
239
+ ```bash
240
+ # install size, packages and advisories (needs uv)
241
+ python scripts/measure.py "unstructured[docx,pptx,xlsx,md,csv,pdf]" "tryworks[pdf] @ ."
242
+
243
+ # element-by-element comparison
244
+ python tests/corpus.py compat/out/corpus
245
+ python scripts/compat.py dump tryworks compat/out/corpus compat/out/tryworks.json
246
+ python scripts/compat.py dump unstructured compat/out/corpus compat/out/upstream.json # in an env with unstructured
247
+ python scripts/compat.py compare compat/out/upstream.json compat/out/tryworks.json --markdown compat/REPORT.md
248
+ ```
249
+
250
+ ## Development
251
+
252
+ ```bash
253
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
254
+ python -m pytest
255
+ ```
256
+
257
+ See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). The one hard rule: the base install stays
258
+ dependency-free.
259
+
260
+ ## How this was built
261
+
262
+ tryworks was written with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) under human direction. It
263
+ is an independent implementation of unstructured's public API; no unstructured source code was
264
+ copied. Confidence in it comes from things you can check yourself: the test suite, which runs on
265
+ Linux, macOS and Windows, and the differential comparison against unstructured above.
