Reading .lit files from my app

barduck · 06-14-2009, 04:11 AM

Hi all,

(I asked this in the "workshop" forum but am re-asking here)

I need a library that can read .lit files and can be used from my code (python) to process the input (i.e. I don't want to pre convert it to other format first). I stumbled across Calibre and it seemed like it's what I was looking for but I am having some difficulties to make it work (or properly install the egg package for that matter).

Before I spend more time trying to make it work, is Calibre able to work in library mode that I can just call from my code and get paragraphs from a .lit file? If not, is there any other simple library that can do this?

Thanks in advance,
- barduck

Do you mean you something like this?

Code:

calibre_lit = calibre_function( open('blah.lit', r))
text = calibre_lit.paragraph(974)

If that is the case, no.
