PyCharm setup and py3?

[Boilerplate4U]

Hi all!

I'm able use the PyCharm remote debugger (using pydevd_pycharm) and "calibre-debug" but now I'd like to run everything within the IDE. Dev env = macOS Catalina.

1. Anyone that managed to setup pycharm (2020) for Calibre (4.20) in regards to env-vars, search paths and so forth?
   
2. I noticed some references to py3 (ispy3) etc. Will Calibre 4.20 work with python v3.8?

Thanks in advance!

Calibre 4.20 will not work with Python 3. But there is a Python 3 beta version.

Ok, thanks!

I've tried to decode the launcher app (the binary) "calibre-debug" to find out the Calibre entry point in debug-mode and other arguments but in vain. dtrace does give you only a limited view of the program arguments.

I've also tried to find out how it works by looking in the source for the luncher apps but there are no docs how they are constructed and as I don't have a complete dev-env I can't use the build process.

Can anyone please give me a hint how calibre-debug is starting up things? A qualified guess is that "start_gui" ("srs/gui2/main.py") might be the entry point...

PHP Code:

$ pwd
~/src/calibre/bypy/macos
$ ls -l
total 128
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff  31460 Jul  6 16:17 __main__.py
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff   1642 Jul  6 16:17 launcher.c
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff   1072 Jul  6 16:17 placeholder.c
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff   3304 Jul  6 16:17 sign.py
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff   5293 Jul  6 16:17 site.py
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff   6427 Jul  6 16:17 util.c
-rw-r--r--  1 calibre  staff    246 Jul  6 16:17 util.h 


Btw, whats the reason why the launcher apps are created as binaries instead of regular scripts?

calibre-debug executes main() from debug.py

Ok, thank you!

1. Are there any other settings, env-vars or arguments needed before calling main()?

2. Btw, where is the src for v4.99 (py3 beta) located? Couldn't find any branch or tag at github "https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre" for 4.99...

Thanks, Lars.

The py3 branch. And if you want to run calibre from source using a binary read https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html

Fyi, the following settings are required by PyCharm to work on macOS (ie set by launcher "caliber-debug"). In the example below Calibre is cloned to "/Users/lars/src/calibre"

CloneRoot = /Users/lars/src/calibre
CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM = CloneRoot/src  <======
