complete stack trace for it

  File "/home/ubuntu/sooraj/pdf-parser/worker.py", line 95, in split_and_process
    split_doc.insert_pdf(doc, from_page=startPage, to_page=endPage - 1)

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'function' and 'tuple'

i verified that startPage and endPage were integers as mentioned in documentation. reverting back to version 1.23.5 solved my issue.

How to reproduce the bug

    doc = fitz.open(stream=pdf_bytes, filetype="pdf")
    split = int(split)
    page_count = doc.page_count
    for startPage in range(0, page_count, split):
        endPage = min(startPage + split, page_count)
        split_doc = fitz.open()
        partId = f"{taskId}-{startPage}-{endPage}"

        logger.info(f"this is {startPage} and type is {type(startPage)}")
        logger.info(f"this is {endPage} and type is {type(endPage)}")

        split_doc.insert_pdf(docsrc=doc, from_page=startPage, to_page=endPage - 1)
