Summary

Implement actual PDF parsing for Priméo Énergie scraper instead of always falling back to hardcoded values. The _parse_pdf() method now extracts prices directly from the tariff PDF.

Changes

  • Parse concatenated PDF text by splitting on 'kVA' markers and extracting prices with regex
  • Extract BASE subscriptions (3-36 kVA) with kWh price 0.1327€ HT
  • Extract HC/HP subscriptions (3-36 kVA) with HP 0.1434€ and HC 0.1147€ HT
  • Add 3 kVA option to HC/HP (Priméo offers it unlike standard TRV)

Result

Scraper now returns 18 offers (9 BASE + 9 HC/HP) from live PDF data without fallback.

The Priméo scraper was always falling back to hardcoded values because
_parse_pdf() returned an empty list. This commit implements actual PDF
parsing that extracts prices directly from the Priméo tariff sheet:

- Parse concatenated PDF text by splitting on 'kVA' markers
- Extract BASE subscriptions (3-36 kVA) and kWh price (0.1327€ HT)
- Extract HC/HP subscriptions (3-36 kVA) with HP (0.1434€) and HC (0.1147€)
- Update fallback values to match current PDF prices (2025-12-05)
- Add 3 kVA option to HC/HP (Priméo offers it unlike standard TRV)

The scraper now returns 18 offers (9 BASE + 9 HC/HP) from live PDF data.

Pull request overview

This PR implements actual PDF parsing for the Priméo Énergie scraper, replacing the previous stub implementation that always fell back to hardcoded values. The new implementation extracts electricity tariff prices directly from the Priméo Énergie PDF document using regex-based text parsing.

Key Changes:

  • Implemented _parse_pdf() method with actual parsing logic instead of returning empty list
  • Added _extract_base_prices() and _extract_hc_hp_prices() helper methods to parse BASE and HC/HP tariff tables from PDF text
  • Updated fallback prices to reflect current rates (valid from 04/08/2025) with 3 kVA option added to HC/HP offers

The regex pattern r"0[,\.]1[23]\d{2}" will match values like "0.13xx" or "0.12xx" but won't match "0.14xx" or "0.11xx". This pattern seems overly restrictive. Based on the context (looking for BASE kWh price around 0.1327), the pattern should be r"0[,\.]1[0-9]\d{2}" to match any value in the 0.10-0.19 range. The current pattern could fail to find the price if the PDF format changes slightly or if the price shifts outside the 0.12-0.13 range.

Suggested change
kwh_matches = re.findall(r"0[,\.]1[23]\d{2}", text)
kwh_matches = re.findall(r"0[,\.]1[0-9]\d{2}", text)

The condition if power >= 3 is always true since all values in hchp_powers are >= 3 (the list is [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36]). This makes the condition redundant. Either remove the condition, or if there's a specific reason to exclude 3 kVA for HC/HP (as the comment on line 267 suggests might be standard), implement the proper logic to handle this case. The comment on line 311 says "Standard HC/HP is 6+ kVA, but include 3 if Primeo offers it" - this suggests the condition should be checking something else or the logic needs clarification.

The hardcoded fallback subscription prices are duplicated - they appear both in the FALLBACK_PRICES constant at the top of the class (lines 41-49) and here within the _extract_hc_hp_prices method (lines 294-304). This violates the DRY principle and creates a maintenance burden. If prices need to be updated, they must be changed in two places, increasing the risk of inconsistency. Consider reusing self.FALLBACK_PRICES["FIXE_HC_HP"] instead of hardcoding these values again.

The PDF text when split by 'kVA' gives parts like:
- Part 1: "8,516 " = price 8.51 for 3 kVA, "6" is start of next power
- Part 2: "11,0711,309 " = price 11.07 for 6 kVA (+ TRV), "9" is next power

The comment describes the format as "8,516 " where "6" is the start of the next power value. This is confusing and suggests the parsing logic might be unreliable. If the trailing digit is actually part of the next value rather than the price itself, the regex r"(\d+[,\.]\d{2})" might not correctly extract the intended price in all cases. The comment should clarify the exact expected format more precisely, and the parsing logic should be validated to ensure it handles this concatenated format correctly.

The condition checks if the price is between 0.12 and 0.15, but the expected HP price is 0.1434 and HC price is 0.1147. The HC price (0.1147) would fall outside this range and wouldn't be captured. Additionally, this validation range seems too narrow and could cause the parser to miss valid prices if they change slightly in future PDFs. Consider widening the range to something like 0.10 < val < 0.20 to be more robust.

[nitpick] The hardcoded range 5 < price < 45 is a magic number without clear documentation. This range validation could be made more maintainable by defining named constants like MIN_BASE_SUBSCRIPTION and MAX_BASE_SUBSCRIPTION with comments explaining why these bounds were chosen. This would make the code more self-documenting and easier to update if the valid ranges change.

The logic for finding the BASE section start index is fragile. The condition checks if a part endswith("3 ") or endswith("3") or has "3 " in the last 5 characters (part[-5:]). However, this could match many unintended locations in the PDF text where "3 " appears. For example, any text mentioning "3" followed by a space could trigger this. A more robust approach would be to look for a more specific marker that uniquely identifies the start of the BASE pricing table, such as a combination of keywords or a more distinctive pattern.

[nitpick] The comment says "price is 8,51 (exactly 2 decimals)" but this is misleading. The regex r"(\d+[,\.]\d{2})" matches numbers with exactly 2 decimal places, but 8,51 actually represents 8.51 (with a comma as decimal separator), not "exactly 2 decimals" in a mathematical sense. The comment should be clarified to say something like "Format: '8,51' -> extracts price with 2 decimal digits" to avoid confusion.

Suggested change
# Format: "8,516 " -> price is 8,51 (exactly 2 decimals)
# Format: "8,516 " -> extracts price string "8,51" (with 2 decimal digits, comma as decimal separator)
