Unhelpful error

[TechnoCat]

I'm trying to write a recipe, and have created the tuple with the array of article URLs. Calibre is then giving me a rather unhelpful message AFTER the return from my routine;

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/Python/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 147, in main

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Unfortunately, that most recent, __init__.py, is binary so I can't see what it's really doing, as is news.py.

What is the str (presumably a string?) that it's having a problem with?

The second element of the tuple must be a list of dictionaries, as documented in the docstring of the parse_index method. http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news...pe.parse_index

Thank you.

I have a decent parser now for OReilly Premium. (Great handling of the web site security - good work on that!) Is there an easy way to block images?

Add img to remove_tags
