True. If you have 3.2.10 it won't offer anything lower.

But in order to do that it has to know which version is available on MobileRead and it is not determining that correctly at the moment.

The Version History may look the same to you, but it is not formatted in the correct way currently.

I believe that the code that parses it expects a colon after the word History. (I was mistaken about that. It needs something specific in the HTML of the post and is not finding it.)

Both the KePub Output plugin and the KoboTouchExtended are showing as 3.2.7 as the available versions.

Is this why, even after yesterday's release, the version is still 3.2.7 in my Calibre program?

Yes. Hopefully it will be corrected soon.

If you want the update immediately you can download the new version from the first post of this thread and install it manually.

too tricky for newbie me

I think I can wait for the fix.

version history is not parsed at all. The current version is taken from __init__.py in the plugin zip file in the first post.

Interesting. The KTE __init__.py has no version information, the JobSpy __init__.py has a line reading "version = (1, 0, 183)" and FFF has "version = __version__" and "__version__ = (3, 20, 1)".

This should take care of it: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...b270e6805bef51

Interesting, I did not expect Python would do anything other than have KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.version be a tuple!

More interestingly, other than that I haven't changed how I'm setting the plugin version. It's been a class attribute of KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED since the first release. But it sounds like that shouldn't have worked in the first place?

This doesnt have anything to do with python. Its unsafe to execute arbitrary python, so the plugin mirroring service instead has an adhoc parser that I wrote based on the python stdlib ast module to extract plugin metadata from __init__.py, without needing to execute anything. Over the years as plugin developers have gotten more creative in how they choose to define versions the parser has had to support more and more python syntax. In this case, it was tripping up on import common and version = common.WHATEVER if you had instead done from common import WHATEVER version = WHATEVER it would have worked, already, but no big deal, since the fix was fairly simple.

JSWolf · 06-17-2020, 05:40 AM

After the fix, I now have 4 plugin updates that I didn't have yesterday.

I just updated to v. 3.2.9, Calibre V. 4.18 (64 bit), Windows 10. At transferring a book to the device, I receive:

Code:

calibre, version 4.18.0
FEHLER: Fehler: Fehler beim Kommunizieren mit dem Gerät

'module' object has no attribute 'KEPubContainer'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 90, in run

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'KEPubContainer'

This occurring with any book I try to transfer. Could someone help, please?

I have the exact same issue after the update.

Same issue after updating the driver here too.
