The only real interactive PDF editor I know of for Linux is PDFStudio:
https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/
I've been using it for many years, and can recommed it highly. It's
got nothing to do with Python though.
If you want command-line stuff, there's pdf toolkit:
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-text/pdftk
If, OTOH, you want to programmatically generate PDF from Python,
that's something entirely different. I'd look at
Reportlab https://www.reportlab.com/opensource/
pyfpdf https://pyfpdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#fpdf-for-python
pypdf https://pythonhosted.org/PyPDF2/
