"Failed to decrypt user key key (sic)"

Any idea why this happened, i have DE 1.7 installed on my pc

chorpler · 03-06-2009, 06:31 AM

Which script was that -- the script for retrieving the key or for decryping the file?

draghetto · 03-06-2009, 06:38 AM

btw, is there a way to compile it for windows? to run without py installed?

Are you asking if you can run the python script without python installed? The answer is no. Unless it is packed as an .EXE by someone. But this basically embeds python into it. So, not much of an advantage.

There's a great advantage: the end user doesn't need to install python.

@mshunter80: Take a look at cx_Freeze and py2exe.

Sure, but size wise your getting the same thing. Installing python really isn't that much of an arduous task. You only need to do it once.

Or, you can by a Mac which already has python 2.5.x pre-installed.

Quite an expensive solution though...

I know. I was teasing. But, it worked for me.

Ok, what about Ubuntu. I think it has python included in its distro.

Hmmm, I am sure I have python installed on my N95. I guess this means I could strip DRM on the move???

Do the python scripts work on a MAC "as is"?

My reading of the forum seemed to suggest there was some windows only functionality unless you download additional components. As I haven't got any epub books yet, I've only having a watching brief here so far.

The script relies on 'windll' from the ctypes python module which means it won't work natively on a mac, as far as I can tell.

I don't know of a modern linux distro that doesn't come with python pre-installed.

But that's not the point. What we think of as trivial is hard work to other people. Just look at all the questions here on MobileRead about getting python scripts running. The average Windows user doesn't know they need python installed, and they don't care. They just want it to work, and work now. They don't want to go through various steps of installing python and running .py scripts. They find it confusing, scary and oftentimes, they mess it up. I don't know why (or how), but they do.

Wrapping it up as an EXE makes it easier for them, at least a little bit.

I don't disagree with that at all. But, I don't see it happening. Putting some script on pastbin or other clipboard share site is easy to do. But, finding a place to host a questionable .exe is a bit tougher.

Then again, if you are going to break the law, you should have to put a bit of effort in it, eh?

Hey, I am an "average Windows user." You have no idea how many times I went back to the Wiki in the beginning - and did everything step by step. Installing python was a rush! I know absolutely zip about computers, but I can download a script from pastebin and do some minor things myself. The sense of accomplishment is huge! If I could have gotten exe files, knowing what I would have to go through to get to the same place, I would pass.
