Anyway, tropoy contacted me via email, and I converted his own files just fine with Penelope v3.1.2 on my machine, and he confirmed they work.
Assuming the problem is not with the dictionary installation procedure, but actually with the output files, I guess there is a problem with your shell/Python environment. It could be any of the following:
- shell encoding must be UTF-8
- a Windows-specific issue
- bug in the MARISA Python module on your environment
- bug in Penelope that does not occur on my environment
In general, if you want to check that the input file is read correctly, you can try outputting to CSV and inspect the resulting file. If it looks ok, then the problem is in the output part. If not, then the problem is with the reading part, most likely the shell encoding and/or the input files.
Anyway, if Penelope v2.x works for you, keep using it, you do not miss much. |
Hi, everyone!
I can confirm surquizu's and tropoy's issues trying to install a Kobo dictionary converted with penelope 3.1.2. I had this very same problem (I use Python 2.7 + Windows 10). There was no way for my Aura HD to recognize or accept my new Kobo dictionary.
However, when I converted again by using penelope 2.0.2 this time, everything went OK and the ereader accepted my just converted dictionary.
So, apparently, I will have to stick to version 2.0.2 (for the time being, at least).
