Recipe for Le Monde Diplomatique, edición Cono Sur (Argentina)
Greets, all.
I've taken my first shot at writing a recipe. It's for fetching Le Monde Diplomatique edición Cono Sur (Argentina), which is in Spanish. It requires a subscription. You can find the recipe here. I'd welcome any feedback if anyone finds it useful. Cheers! Last edited by tdido; 01-02-2013 at 08:21 AM. Reason: typo |

You've got some linux specific code in there for getting covers, that should be removed.

Couple of things:
1) Dont use NamedTemporaryFile, use one of the functions from calibre.ptempfile instead as they handle temp file locations in a consistent manner. 2) Dont use PIL, use the save_cover_data_to function from calibre/utils/magick/draw.py it is more robust (PIL is unmaintained, that function uses ImageMagick). |

In the end I used your "Image" wrapper class, which provides a "crop" and a "save" methods, exactly what I needed. No optional Python modules used anymore
Thanks for the help, and let me know if there's anything else that could be improved. Cheers! |
