from .pdftypes import PDFObjectNotFound ImportError: cannot import name 'PDFObjectNotFound'

Question

I am trying to convert PDF to TEXT. But I have problem in PDFPage class. I have searched about it. But I didn't get anything and it gives me following error. I have also installed pdfminer.six for python 3.5 but still I didn't get any solution. Please help.

Code :

from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter
from pdfminer.converter import TextConverter
from pdfminer.layout import LAParams
from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage
import os
import sys, getopt

#converts pdf, returns its text content as a string


 def extract_text_from_pdf(pdf_path):
    with open(pdf_path, 'rb') as fh:
        for page in PDFPage.get_pages(fh, 
                                      caching=True,
                                      check_extractable=True):
            resource_manager = PDFResourceManager()
            fake_file_handle = io.StringIO()
            converter = TextConverter(resource_manager, fake_file_handle, codec='utf-8', laparams=LAParams())
            page_interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(resource_manager, converter)
            page_interpreter.process_page(page)

            text = fake_file_handle.getvalue()
            yield text

            # close open handles
            converter.close()
            fake_file_handle.close()

Error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/system/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pdfminer/pdfpage.py", line 5, in <module>
