Sorry I misread this part of the sticky:

calibre internal APIs: how to best accomplish some task using them

You can't use the internal APIs unless your program is in python.

stodge · 03-23-2011, 08:05 PM

It would be Python - I forgot to mention that earlier. Thanks

Sure have your python file executed like this:

calibre-debug -e /path/to/python/file

And you can use any calibre code you like in the file.
