I have no experience of Python and not really enough time to learn it in enough depth in order to code a plugin.
Is there an alternative? Or are there any code stubs, such that I can provide a DLL or a .EXE (for Windows only, sorry) and just change a few strings in the Python hook to have it invoke my code? Yes, I know that I _should_ take the time to lean a new language, and I know that I _should_ make my plugin cross platform, but, if we accept that I just don't have the time and that such a plugin is better than no plugin at all, what are my options? Thanks in advance for any help. |

No, there's no way to do that. The best you can do is create a standalone program and invoke it from a python shell plugin, but even that will only work if you dont intend to interact with any of calibre's internals, the GUI, the database, etc. All you would be able to do is process files on the filesystem.

Sigh!
Ok, no shortcut then. Well, maybe yet another language won't hurt. Time to start learning Python, I guess. Thanks for the info. |
