A cold pint of lager always helps!
Thanks, but base.py doesn't really provide any direct hints regarding how to grasp the workflow that currently is the essential part for me.
As of searching, I think it's quite straight forward, either use ids like isbn otherwise title/author. Some of the scientific sites I plan to use offers a api-key by register an account that allows volume access for free (tho I'm quite sure there is some kind of limit anyhow)
I believe source code samples does really matter like in the spirit of the design philosophy Specification By Example (imho).
Thanks about the info regarding how the plugins are executing within calibre.
Somewhat OT, but do you have any knowledge about scraping epub for metadata using EPUBMetadataReader? It seem that the <dc:identifier> is not used to extract isbn from content.opf. Question: Do you possibly have a clue as to which source file that may cope with this?
Snippet from content.opf:
Code:
<package version="2.0" unique-identifier="bookid">
<metadata>
<dc:identifier id="bookid">9781783984343</dc:identifier>
<dc:title >Reactive Programming with Scala and Akka</dc:title>
<dc:publisher >Packt Publishing</dc:publisher>
<dc:language >en</dc:language>
<meta name="cover" content="cover-image"/>
</metadata>
