It has been going for over an hour now and is just halfway through. So how many days is it going to take it to convert these PDFs into ePubs? Python is for script-kiddies, not serious programming.
Ummm....so don't use it. By the way, reviving a 2 1/2 year old thread just to troll doesn't exactly raise your credibility. Welcome to the ignore list.
