I am new to eBooks and calibre. I have a large calibre database imported from multiple sources. As a result, the author format is inconsistent. I would like to write some software, (preferably a Python or C plugin) that would normalize the author field for whole database. Is it possible to normalize fields without direct use of SQL, and if so what is the best way to go about it? There doesn't appear to be any way to import metadata into calibre except through a conversion.
