Perhaps I didn't make things clear enough.
% ls -CF *recipe
instapaper_calibre.recipe
spiegel_int.recipe
theonion.recipe
% for i in *.recipe ; do ebook-convert $i $(basename $i recipe)epub; done

ValueError: The "Instapaper" recipe needs a username and password.
==
But I had included these lines in the instapaper.recipe
username = "user@bla.bla"
password = "password"
I know that I can do this instead, but it is not what I want:
ebook-convert instapaper.recipe instapaper.epub --username="user@bla.bla" --password="password"
I'd like the conversion to loop through several recipes some of which may require usernames and passwords, hence my request to have the option of storing those in the recipe. I wouldn't want to pass those values explicitly via the script for maintenance reasons.
Thanks.
