Ebookmaker has stopped working, error messages
by James Simmons 29 Aug '21

29 Aug '21

I used Ebookmaker as recently as yesterday with no problems, but today I'm getting no epub generated and output.txt shows the following: unzipping /htdocs/ebookmaker/cache/20210827154639/Vishnupuranam.zip Input file: Vishnupuranam.html EbookMaker 0.11.4 WARNING:root:Gutenberg Database is inactive because psycopg2 not installed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/www/.local/share/virtualenvs/ebookmaker-A6HCkzTJ/bin/ebookmaker", line 18, in <module> EbookMaker.main () File "/var/www/.local/share/virtualenvs/ebookmaker-A6HCkzTJ/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ebookmaker/EbookMaker.py", line 534, in main job.url = os.path.join(absoutputdir, output_files['epub.images']) File "/var/www/.local/share/virtualenvs/ebookmaker-A6HCkzTJ/lib/python3.6/posixpath.py", line 94, in join genericpath._check_arg_types('join', a, *p) File "/var/www/.local/share/virtualenvs/ebookmaker-A6HCkzTJ/lib/python3.6/genericpath.py", line 149, in _check_arg_types (funcname, s.__class__.__name__)) from None TypeError: join() argument must be str or bytes, not 'NoneType' I tried it a couple of times to be certain. Other than correcting some spelling errors, my input today is no different from yesterday. James Simmons

Questions on metadata in HTML files
by James Simmons 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

A few weeks ago I got an email saying I was one of the last two PG contributors using RST and that RST would no longer be accepted by PG. It was suggested that if I wanted to use RST I could convert it to HTML using pandoc. I have been experimenting with pandoc and rst2html and have gotten good results with both, so I have a pretty good procedure going where I can make RST files and generate usable HTML files from them. I think rst2html gives better results than pandoc, but both work OK and I don't miss the PG extensions to RST much if at all. HOWEVER, I am not entirely clear on how to submit my HTML docs now. The ebookmaker page suggests that I can include metadata in my HTML files and ebookmaker will pick it up. That does not seem to be happening. My HTML metadata looks like this: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="generator" content="Docutils 0.16: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/" /><title>A PROSE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF VISHNUPURĀNAM</title><meta content="A Prose English Translation of Vishnupurānam" name="pg.title" /><meta content="99999" name="pg.id" /><meta content="Public Domain" name="pg.rights" /><meta content="James Simmons" name="pg.producer" /><meta content="This file was produced from page images at Internet Archive." name="pg.credits" /><meta content="Manmatha Nath Dutt, M. A., M.R.A.S." name="dc.creator" /><meta content="A Prose English Translation of Vishnupurānam" name="dc.title" /><meta content="en" name="dc.language" /><meta content="1896" name="dc.created" /><meta content="yyyy-mm-dd" name="pg.released" /><meta content="images/cover.jpg" name="coverpage" /> This is pretty much what I used with RST, but with names all lower case. I've tried both ways and ebookmaker ignores them both. So how do I put metadata in HTML so ebookmaker can find it and use it? James Simmons
