Plugin index - entry not included in calibre list

Lakis · 06-23-2026, 02:07 PM

One of the mods added my plugin to the index (post is here), but so far (it's over a week) it's not visible in the calibre plugins' list. I'm thinking, if it's something in my plugin's structure or something else.
On my side I was thinking, if version and plugin name in side file (consts.py, then imported to __init__.py and used in Source class) are making any problems for the Plugin updater to read required data and it skips it or is it something else.

I looked at the Index of plugins and see the entry (code) and did not spot why it is not being scraped to include in the Get Plugins list (also deal with updates).

The name in the init is not what is used for the list.

I found that splitting the imports makes the parser happy:

from calibre_plugins.wolnelektury_source.consts import PLUGIN_VERSION
from calibre_plugins.wolnelektury_source.consts import PLUGIN_NAME
from calibre_plugins.wolnelektury_source.consts import WOLNELEKTURY_ID

This should fix it: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...f07fb5eb0c692c

Thanks everyone, I'll separate imports just for compatibility sake, but the fix seems nice either way
