armel calibre (for Aeris)

[twobob]

Did I mention I hate python?

and now you see why.

build something... move it somewhere else. poof.

bleugh.

I know - next - to - nothing - about importing python modules.

perhaps someone who does can be more illuminating.

KOreader can read lots of filetypes directly without converting... like html files, for example.

python modules:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222212

(If you're unfamiliar with python modules, the install procedure is usually
Code:
python setup.py install
in the root of the project source tree .)

(Well, you might want to D/L the tarballs yourself, and push them on your device manually, unless you have a decent wget/curl in your PATH).

[Aeris]

Twobob: if you provide the missing libraries, I can provide the missing imports.

It seems quite easy.... for example, for this error:
File "blablablabla/opf2.py", line 14, in <module>
from lxml import etree
ImportError: No module named lxml

meanse that in the file opf2.py it tries to import, from the lxml file, the function or class etree. But the lxml files is missing, by putting it in the same folder of opf2.py the error is fixed.

Sometime you can find "from blabla.blibli import blublu": it means that the blibli file from which import the blublu function is in the blabla folder

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, new to python too. I've only fixed the date error using this method

[Aeris]

Ok, can't find the import files for other folders xD Or, better, they must be installed/compiled... Nothin, we have to give up until some pythoner saves us xD

[NiLuJe]

lxml is a Python module with a C component, so, yeah, good luck cross-compiling that ;P.

If wheezy's using Python 2.7, you *might* be able to just rip it out of debian, but if it's built against python 2.6, nope.

[twobob]

If wheezy's using Python 2.7,

it does.

and... a simple "why it fails" test would seemingly be:
. /mnt/us/extensions/python/pythonenv

[root@kindle root]# python2.7

Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 10 2012, 07:08:06)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> from PyQt4 import QtGui
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can provide all of the files form the box that built this.

if someone can show me a way to find which ones are needed....

[Aeris]

Modulefinder can't do the job? http://docs.python.org/2/library/modulefinder.html

It should print a list of the not imported modules like this:

Modules not imported:
guido.python.ham
baconhameggs
etc...

Or we'd better wait for NiluJe next illumination xD

[twobob]

aptitude build-deps calibre an a relevant arm wheezy debian.
job done, files delivered to the filesystem.
Sorry to be negative, however as that solution is already pretty simple everything else seems like a bit like extra-effort for no good reason... It's fairly easy to rip them out yourself at that point and with no chance of me missing one.

[twobob]

of course you could just compile calibre - from source - in a non-arm environment and see how kovid is doing the conversion for yourself...

[Aeris]

Ok, thanks anyway for your help twobob! I'm starting to hate python too eheh

[twobob]

yeah... it occurred to me that a strace would probably not hurt...

I managed to export debian gdb and its python requirements earlier today using that method...

[twobob]

pursuant to this I did a little testing of my own

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...68&postcount=6

the python path needs setting I discovered...
Unsure if this is the full problem but no doubt it is part of the solution...

PYTHONHOME=/mnt/us/extensions/python without that... nada.

:P

[twobob]

that may well be...
But I assure you that setting it was required to run the gdb...

[NiLuJe]

With a vanilla python, or one living somewhere else, yep .
