However, airport baggage weight limits and the fact that I can't curl more than 20lbs have me hooked on my kindle. Thus... the long winded plea for help.

My computer runs on windows 7 and I'm trying to follow the directions mr. cabbage posted without much success. I gather that I must 1) download something called python 2) download something else called pycrypto. Upon downloading I run these two programs and hopefully (I think) some boxes and prompts will pop up requesting me to insert some keys (indeptkey/adeptkey) and voila- all my problems are solved?

However, when I go and try to follow step 1 (let alone step 2,3,4 and 5) I can't find python 2.6 that is all the rage on this board. Python.org indicates there's a new version- python 2.7... yet there's like six options for this download (seen here: http://www.python.org/download/). I'm not sure which one, if this is the right version, to download. I don't understand this language at all! I can speak three languages but computer is not one of them... what is windows binary? windows amd? linux...?

I can't get past the first step! Someone please take pity on me and help!

Here is a link on how to install Python and pycrypto. It helped me a lot, I hope it helps you too.

FWIW:

The very latest version of the tools (v2.2a) from Apprentice Alf you no longer need to use/build/install PyCrypto at all! So no need to install SDKs for Mac and building your own PyCrypto anymore. The files have been modified to work with OpenSSL which is already installed on Mac OS X and Linux.

As for Windows, I recommend simply installing the the ActiveState version of Python 2.6 or 2.7 (32 bit) using the .msi installer link provided earlier. Windows users can find links to install OpenSSL as well making PyCrypto unnecessary on Windows as well.

You also do not need to install Python if you use Calibre and the plugins. Since Calibre is built with python, the plugins get what they need from the Calibre installation.

cheers

Thanks for all the replies everyone although TBH I don't understand a lot of the responses :X I'm going to start with the activestate link that Dennis so generously provided and hopefully that plus the link FlorenceArt gave will help me through. Thanks so much to you both.

Leep, I'm a little (ok a lot) confused by your response.... I thought all of these hoops (python+pyrocrypter+indept/adeptkeys) = usuable format that doesn't have DMR to be uploaded onto calibre then my kindle. Are you saying I can just download the latest versino of calibre and skip all of the above? I'm sorry for not understanding, I'm just really-really computer illiterate.

sookie · 11-16-2010, 12:24 AM

ok! I just downloaded python 2.6.6.15 for Windows x64 and now I'm looking to download pycrypto. Will "Pycrypto 2.1 for 32bit Windows and Python 2.6" work for me even though my system runs on Windows x64?

Sorry for the deluge of questions. I swear I'm not trying to be so frustrating!

Not quite. To be legal in the US (for example), Calibre only format-shifts DRM-free ebooks. However, it has a framework for plug-ins that do stuff it can't do alone (web browsers also often support plug-ins, it is a popular way to make your package more capable by getting other people to do the work). So the tools_v2.2a bundle includes plug-ins for Calibre that strip the DRM as part of the import process to Calibre. So Calibre plus the right plug-ins is all you need. See Apprentice Alf's Blog, and don't forget to look in the comments for the latest stuff (although tools_v2.1 is also "good enough"). You don't need Python or pycrypto for the Calibre plug-ins.

As far as I know the 32-bit PyCrypto will not work with 64-bit Python. Either download the 32-bit Python or build the 64-bit version of PyCrypto if you feel comfortable enough. I chose the latter option.

sookie · 11-16-2010, 02:46 AM

This sounds much more manageable, especially for a noob like me.

To do this all I'd have to do is download the latest calibre version and run the right plug in which may be found on AA's blog. Question (cause I'm full of 'em!) how does one exactly "run a plug-in"?

I've done some more poking around on the python/pycryptor method and I don't think its for me as I don't understand half of what's being said in the how-tos. Even the step-by-step kind. I don't know how to "instruct" the python to do something. I wish there was a software I could buy that will do all of this... it would be so worth it.

There is a read me file in the downloaded file from AA and that tells you where to put the plugins for calibre

guys, thanks for your help, but I really cannot find the plugin - all I manage to understand is that the script is called K4MobiDeDRM.py, and that in order to use it in Calibre as a plugin I should "rename this file so that the filename ends in '_plugin.py', put it into a ZIP file with all its supporting python routines and import that ZIP into Calibre using its plugin configuration GUI".
I have managed to locate this source [link removed] for K4MobiDeDRM.py, but I am a loss as to which "python supporting routines" are needed, and where to find them - very grateful for your help!

DiapDealer · 11-19-2010, 02:28 PM

If you downloaded the latest Tools archive (version 2.2a), it contains a Calibre Plugins folder that has all of the plugins all zipped up and ready to install. No renaming, zipping, or tracking down of supporting scripts is necessary. The README to install the plugin is there also.

EDIT: And you're definitely using the wrong plugin if you're working with epubs... which this thread is about.

Thanks DiapDealer,
bear in mind that I am rather computer illiterate, so maybe the file I mentioned above is not the right one.

Ah, now I understand, thanks for your patience!

lts recommended to use 32 bit python and plugins even on a 64 bit system.

I wonder if sookie ever figured it out?

If not, there's a link to a manual for the process found in the comments of I love cabbages blog about circumventing Adobe Adept DRM for epub.
