Kovid,
You're superman--what you did is amazing.
I had problems upgrading Python to 2.5. I have 2.4 and I don't want to upgrade the Linux distribution now. It was a pain to upgrade and I posted a comment here on the other software besides Python that is needed by html2lrf.
See libprs500 bug #117 for details.
One question--I believe Sony LRF supports images, but unless I'm doing something wrong, html2lrf doesn't seem to include images. If my assumptions are true, are there any plans to include images in the generated LRF format? I viewed my generated LRF file and it had no images. I tried both relative and full paths for the image file. For example:
Relative: <img src="images/foo.jpg" />
Full path: <img src="http://www.foobar.com/images/foo.jpg" />
I donated to the Kovid PRS 505 fund--great work!
