Dear Maintainer, Bug#833112 still happens in pyew 2.0-4 when python-tk is not installed.
Supposedly "TK should only be needed for the GUI commands" [*] but you get that "loading file: 'pdf'" error running pyew in CLI without python-tk package installed.
-------- Package: pyew Version: 2.0-4Dependencies: python (< 2.8), python (>= 2.7), python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~), libdistorm64-1
Recommends: python-tk [*] https://github.com/joxeankoret/pyew/issues/12#issuecomment-78556416
