Custom column GPM

[foobarius]

Hey,

I'm trying to create a column called Collection but I'm failing.

program:
    library_name = current_library_name();
    rating = field('rating');
    read_state = field('#read');
    if read_state != "Read":
        output = "{0}: {1} Stars".format(library_name, rating);
    else:
        output = "{0}: {1}".format(library_name, read_state);
    return output;

Where the #read column is a multiple-choice column with values such as "Read" or "In Progress" or "DNF"

This template doesn't compile, even though I don't see no reason why it wouldn't.

I'm not a Python programmer but this seems to me absolutely fine.

Thanks in advance.

GPM is not python, it is a mini-language documented in the calibre manual and compiled TO python.

You can also write custom template functions in python, and use those in GPM.

I got tripped up by the "TO python" as I didn't thoroughly read it.

Thanks for the pointer.
