    Thanks for reading. Hope this maybe made Python more accessible if you haven’t used it before, or you learned a new use case for it. Once again the full script file is here: https://github.com/BrianVia/booksort/blob/main/book-sort.py

  • zx

    A tool for writing better scripts

    Python also has a rich ecosystem of ebook parsing libraries, and fairly easily handles things like file renaming, extensions, environment variables on Linux machines, which is what my NAS box runs. And while my first language is typescript/javascript, so I could’ve utilized something like BASH + Google’s ZX, it felt like a good case to try to get some experience with Python, which I’ve never really used. Luckily VS Code’s intellisense (with some Python plugins), and Python’s relatively simple syntax made it quite easy to get from A→ B in terms of getting the pieces all put together.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • epub-meta

    Small Python library to read metadata information from an ePub (2 and 3) file.

    For epub files we’re using epub_meta. Make sure you install with pip install epub_meta or pip3 install epub_meta

  • pdfx

    Discontinued Extract text, metadata and references (pdf, url, doi, arxiv) from PDF. Optionally download all referenced PDFs.

    For pdf files we’re using pdfx. This also needs an install with pip install pdfx or pip3 install pdfx
