Yeah, to be fair, the whole thing being in Python was pretty much an excuse to play with that very module that loads Lua data types into Python data types ;p.
(That said, IIRC, it's pure-python and possibly single-file, so it could easily be embedded in a plugin).
Every time it's been mentioned, there's been talk of either writing it entirely in Lua and bundling it in KOReader, or making it work from the computer's side of things
.
I, err, haven't really had time to look into either of those options ;o).
Thanks for the reminder about the KOReader Sync plugin, I had entirely forgotten about it, I'll check how things have progressed there since last I checked
