calibre 5: Plugins - Update Status to Python 3

Thasaidon · 09-15-2020, 01:06 AM

Hi BetterRed

I notice you seem to be maintaining the list of Plugins converted to work the updated version of Python.

Just a quick question if you have the info. Is there a list which shows which Plugins being worked on and which are not?

I ask because there are some plugins not yet shown as updated that I and others use a lot. The unfortunate thing is that some plugin authors may rarely if ever log on to Mobileread any more.

I can already see the complaints of some members who find a favorite plugin does not work with the updated version of Python. Such lists would mean people had been warned.

BetterRed · 09-15-2020, 04:56 AM

No there is no such list, below is a list of plugins that have not, as far as I know, been converted to Py3.

If people post a list of plugins they 'need', then I'll consolidate the lists at the end of the week and PM the authors.

I'll strike them out of this post as people post their lists

I'll update Cleaning Comments too (davidfor has already done it, really, but strange summer, so I haven't uploaded and tested yet)

JSWolf · 09-15-2020, 10:45 AM

Has Kobo Utilities been updated?

I did these a while ago. Apparently I forget to release them. That probably means that I have a couple of others to release as well. I'll try and get them out over the weekend.

In the original list:

Kobo Utilities - was updated in February.
Unplugged - is working with no changes.
EpubCheck - was updated in July
Kindle High-Res Covers - there is a version of this posted near the end of it's thread that is working for me.

For the record, I think the best way to get this done is for someone who actually uses the plugin to post the request in the plugins thread. The author should get notified of the post and if they aren't here much, may come back. If they don't come back, it at least tells the developers who are around, which plugins people are interested in and hence might need some attention. Personally, I don't find these lists very useful. But, which plugin threads are are first in the thread list do get my attention.

And the plugins I haven't released above are examples of this. Looking at them, I updated them within a few days of the original Python 3 announcement. I didn't release them then as there was no hurry, and I wanted to see if other changes were needed. Most of the plugins that I have released Python 3 versions of are ones that have needed other changes, or someone explicitly asked about.

@davidfor, thank you very much for your help in updating plugins for Calibre 5.

I know the author of Cleaning Comments stated intention of updating. Well as both Cleaning Comments and Sort By Last Viewed have similar functionalities in Job Spy.
