Dokumentacja API narzędzi do edytowania książek

The e-book editing tools consist of a calibre.ebooks.oeb.polish.container.Container object that represents a book as a collection of HTML + resource files, and various tools that can be used to perform operations on the container. All the tools are in the form of module level functions in the various calibre.ebooks.oeb.polish.* modules.

You obtain a container object for a book at a path like this:

from calibre.ebooks.oeb.polish.container import get_container
container = get_container('Path to book file', tweak_mode=True)

If you are writing a plugin for the E-book editor, you get the current container for the book being edited like this:

from calibre.gui2.tweak_book import current_container
container = current_container()
if container is None:
    report_error # No book has been opened yet

The Container object

class calibre.ebooks.oeb.polish.container.Container(rootpath, opfpath, log, clone_data=None)[źródło]

A container represents an open e-book as a folder full of files and an OPF file. There are two important concepts:

  • The root folder. This is the base of the e-book. All the e-books files are inside this folder or in its sub-folders.

  • Names: These are paths to the books» files relative to the root folder. They always contain POSIX separators and are unquoted. They can be thought of as canonical identifiers for files in the book. Most methods on the container object work with names. Names are always in the NFC Unicode normal form.

  • Clones: the container object supports efficient on-disk cloning, which is used to implement checkpoints in the e-book editor. In order to make this work, you should never access files on the filesystem directly. Instead, use raw_data() or open() to read/write to component files in the book.

When converting between hrefs and names use the methods provided by this class, they assume all hrefs are quoted.

abspath_to_name(fullpath, root=None)[źródło]

Convert an absolute path to a canonical name relative to root

Parametry:

root – The base folder. By default the root for this container object is used.

add_file(name, data, media_type=None, spine_index=None, modify_name_if_needed=False, process_manifest_item=None)[źródło]

Add a file to this container. Entries for the file are automatically created in the OPF manifest and spine (if the file is a text document)

add_name_to_manifest(name, process_manifest_item=None)[źródło]

Add an entry to the manifest for a file with the specified name. Returns the manifest id.

add_properties(name, *properties)[źródło]

Add the specified properties to the manifest item identified by name.

apply_unique_properties(name, *properties)[źródło]

Ensure that the specified properties are set on only the manifest item identified by name. You can pass None as the name to remove the property from all items.

book_type = 'oeb'

The type of book (epub for EPUB files and azw3 for AZW3 files)

commit(outpath=None, keep_parsed=False)[źródło]

Commit all dirtied parsed objects to the filesystem and write out the e-book file at outpath.

Parametry:
  • output – The path to write the saved e-book file to. If None, the path of the original book file is used.

  • keep_parsed – If True the parsed representations of committed items are kept in the cache.

commit_item(name, keep_parsed=False)[źródło]

Commit a parsed object to disk (it is serialized and written to the underlying file). If keep_parsed is True the parsed representation is retained in the cache. See also: parsed()

dirty(name)[źródło]

Mark the parsed object corresponding to name as dirty. See also: parsed().

exists(name)[źródło]

True iff a file/folder corresponding to the canonical name exists. Note that this function suffers from the limitations of the underlying OS filesystem, in particular case (in)sensitivity. So on a case insensitive filesystem this will return True even if the case of name is different from the case of the underlying filesystem file. See also has_name()

filesize(name)[źródło]

Return the size in bytes of the file represented by the specified canonical name. Automatically handles dirtied parsed objects. See also: parsed()

generate_item(name, id_prefix=None, media_type=None, unique_href=True)[źródło]

Add an item to the manifest with href derived from the given name. Ensures uniqueness of href and id automatically. Returns generated item.

get_file_path_for_processing(name, allow_modification=True)[źródło]

Similar to open() except that it returns a file path, instead of an open file object.

property guide_type_map

Mapping of guide type to canonical name

has_name(name)[źródło]

Return True iff a file with the same canonical name as that specified exists. Unlike exists() this method is always case-sensitive.

href_to_name(href, base=None)[źródło]

Convert an href (relative to base) to a name. base must be a name or None, in which case self.root is used.

insert_into_xml(parent, item, index=None)[źródło]

Insert item into parent (or append if index is None), fixing indentation. Only works with self closing items.

is_dir = False

If this container represents an unzipped book (a directory)

Iterate over all links in name. If get_line_numbers is True the yields results of the form (link, line_number, offset). Where line_number is the line_number at which the link occurs and offset is the number of characters from the start of the line. Note that offset could actually encompass several lines if not zero.

make_name_unique(name)[źródło]

Ensure that name does not already exist in this book. If it does, return a modified version that does not exist.

manifest_has_name(name)[źródło]

Return True if the manifest has an entry corresponding to name

property manifest_id_map

Mapping of manifest id to canonical names

manifest_items_of_type(predicate)[źródło]

The names of all manifest items whose media-type matches predicate. predicate can be a set, a list, a string or a function taking a single argument, which will be called with the media-type.

manifest_items_with_property(property_name)[źródło]

All manifest items that have the specified property

property manifest_type_map

Mapping of manifest media-type to list of canonical names of that media-type

property mi

The metadata of this book as a Metadata object. Note that this object is constructed on the fly every time this property is requested, so use it sparingly.

name_to_abspath(name)[źródło]

Convert a canonical name to an absolute OS dependent path

name_to_href(name, base=None)[źródło]

Convert a name to a href relative to base, which must be a name or None in which case self.root is used as the base

property names_that_must_not_be_changed

Set of names that must never be renamed. Depends on the e-book file format.

property names_that_must_not_be_removed

Set of names that must never be deleted from the container. Depends on the e-book file format.

property names_that_need_not_be_manifested

Set of names that are allowed to be missing from the manifest. Depends on the e-book file format.

open(name, mode='rb')[źródło]

Open the file pointed to by name for direct read/write. Note that this will commit the file if it is dirtied and remove it from the parse cache. You must finish with this file before accessing the parsed version of it again, or bad things will happen.

property opf

The parsed OPF file

opf_get_or_create(name)[źródło]

Convenience method to either return the first XML element with the specified name or create it under the opf:package element and then return it, if it does not already exist.

property opf_version

The version set on the OPF’s <package> element

property opf_version_parsed

The version set on the OPF’s <package> element as a tuple of integers

opf_xpath(expr)[źródło]

Convenience method to evaluate an XPath expression on the OPF file, has the opf: and dc: namespace prefixes pre-defined.

parsed(name)[źródło]

Return a parsed representation of the file specified by name. For HTML and XML files an lxml tree is returned. For CSS files a css_parser stylesheet is returned. Note that parsed objects are cached for performance. If you make any changes to the parsed object, you must call dirty() so that the container knows to update the cache. See also replace().

raw_data(name, decode=True, normalize_to_nfc=True)[źródło]

Return the raw data corresponding to the file specified by name

Parametry:
  • decode – If True and the file has a text based MIME type, decode it and return a unicode object instead of raw bytes.

  • normalize_to_nfc – If True the returned unicode object is normalized to the NFC normal form as is required for the EPUB and AZW3 file formats.

relpath(path, base=None)[źródło]

Convert an absolute path (with os separators) to a path relative to base (defaults to self.root). The relative path is not a name. Use abspath_to_name() for that.

remove_from_spine(spine_items, remove_if_no_longer_in_spine=True)[źródło]

Remove the specified items (by canonical name) from the spine. If remove_if_no_longer_in_spine is True, the items are also deleted from the book, not just from the spine.

remove_from_xml(item)[źródło]

Removes item from parent, fixing indentation (works only with self closing items)

remove_item(name, remove_from_guide=True)[źródło]

Remove the item identified by name from this container. This removes all references to the item in the OPF manifest, guide and spine as well as from any internal caches.

rename(current_name, new_name)[źródło]

Renames a file from current_name to new_name. It automatically rebases all links inside the file if the folder the file is in changes. Note however, that links are not updated in the other files that could reference this file. This is for performance, such updates should be done once, in bulk.

replace(name, obj)[źródło]

Replace the parsed object corresponding to name with obj, which must be a similar object, i.e. an lxml tree for HTML/XML or a css_parser stylesheet for a CSS file.

Replace all links in name using replace_func, which must be a callable that accepts a URL and returns the replaced URL. It must also have a «replaced» attribute that is set to True if any actual replacement is done. Convenient ways of creating such callables are using the LinkReplacer and LinkRebaser classes.

serialize_item(name)[źródło]

Convert a parsed object (identified by canonical name) into a bytestring. See parsed().

set_spine(spine_items)[źródło]

Set the spine to be spine_items where spine_items is an iterable of the form (name, linear). Will raise an error if one of the names is not present in the manifest.

property spine_items

An iterator yielding the path for every item in the books» spine. See also: spine_iter and spine_items.

property spine_iter
