Thanks for the prompt reply. I am self-taught re Python/sqlite/etc., which means I am great in some areas and woefully deficient in others - which explains why I ask the below:

I read your response to mean accessing attributes of an object "db", but how should I go about accessing/creating this object? I know from the api documentation how to establish a cache object (i.e. from calibre.library import db; db=db('Path to calibre library folder').new_api), but am gathering that this is not what you mean since this db object has no attribute "prefs".

Thanks for your patience here.
