That is OK - but it does not scale very well. It took me over 12 hours to generate the 15000 files (260MB in total size) to access my library.

Calibre doesn't take much resource when it's just running the online library. What's the advantage of your Python code? Better customization? Or are you just trying to avoid having to run 2 servers?
I have a NAS box which hosts my Calibre library and has a built in web server. The box has a built-in Apache server so I would like to run under that. The box is not capable of running Calibre directly.

Since it's in Python, I wonder if there are some features that would be useful if rolled into Calibre.
The intention if I get it right is that my enhanced server will replace the one currently in Calibre. That is why I am interested in it being in Python.
