amazoncaptcha 0.3.6

Pure Python, lightweight, Pillow-based solver for the Amazon's text captcha.

Amazon Captcha Solver

Motivation behind creation of this library is taking its start from the genuinely simple idea: "I don't want to use pytesseract or some other non-amazon-specific OCR services, nor do I want to install some executables to just solve a captcha. My desire is to get a solution within 1-2 lines of code without any heavy add-ons. Using a pure Python."
