Some quesitons about calibre code

xxyzz · 03-24-2021, 10:33 AM

I use some part of the calibre code like these:

- update MOBI book's EXTH header to change ASIN: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/bl...etadata.py#L54

- get HTML bytes of MOBI book: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/bl...rse_job.py#L58

- send book to device: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/bl...nd_file.py#L19

- get certain MOBI header: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/bl...tadata.py#L118

Is there any equivalent handy APIs already exist in calibre? If not, I'd like to send a few pull requests to add them.

No I dont think there are. I dont generally like to keep code around that I dont use, as it tends to bitrot. If you do want to add it to calibre then make sure you add tests for it as well.
