feat/add the possibility to choose between tesseract and paddle in partition() function about unstructured HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi there!
You should be able to specify OCR agent with env OCR_AGENT from link.

Please set it like export OCR_AGENT="unstructured.partition.utils.ocr_models.paddle_ocr.OCRAgentPaddle" from the constant definition here.

Hi @Timotheevin! We need to update our documentation, but you can specify which agent you want to use or even provide your own using an OCR_AGENT environment variable.
Here's the commit where this was added: https://github.com/Unstructured-IO/unstructured/pull/2462/files

Hi, may I ask which version I should use to enable this feature?

Hi @peixin-lin
It looks like that was introduced in version 0.12.4, so any version after that should be fine.

Hello,
I tried to set os.environ['OCR_AGENT'] = '"unstructured.partition.utils.ocr_models.paddle_ocr.OCRAgentPaddle"'

But I get this error:

ValueError: Environment variable OCR_AGENT must be set to an existing OCR agent module, not unstructured.partition.utils.ocr_models.paddle_ocr.OCRAgentPaddle.

but that is exactly how the env variable should be set, or am I wrong?
