Need help diagnosing a plugin in Python 2
An active group of calibre users are using an editor plugin to polish public domain epubs from OCR according to French typography rules.
The add-in attached is a software package in Python that allows you to choose and launch saved searches from a pack of over a hundred regex-functions. The regex pack is updated regularly based on feedback from users. Flags allow communication between the saved searches package and the software envelope. The plugin could possibly be used in other languages, but with new, adapted saved searches.
Whoever wrote the software suddenly disappeared a few months ago. We have reason to assume, without being sure, that he considered the need for compatibility with Python 3 because he had the skills to do so.
We can't even install the add-in in calibre 5.1. We don't have the Python proficiency. We are looking for a goodwill who would like to make a diagnosis with the tools, in order to have an idea of the extent of the conversion work to be done.
