Actually as I am looking at your screenshots it looks to me like you did more than just use the slimmed down pdb file I sent you. You took the time to actually download and use the lds-get program. Is this correct?
Yep, I'm pedantic like that ;) I try to go the extra mile or two in everything I do, especially if it is something that affects Plucker users.
So what did you think? Was it simple enough to use? The downloading is a little slow, urllib2 seems to be a lot slower than using httplib. But these are minor things I can fix when I get a chance.
It looks pretty good. I'd make a few suggestions for the next version (if you intend on actually making another version):
- Something like request.add_header('Accept-encoding', 'gzip') - In the config, narrow down the params, so you can do
someting like:SourcePath = "/tmp/lds-get"
OutputPath = $SourcePath
LayoutsPath = $SourcePath/layouts"
FilemapPath = $SourcePath/src/filemap.txt" ..or whatever Python uses to do this. This way, the
user only has to modify two locations: 1.) where
lds-get is unpacked, and 2.) where they want the final
output to end up. - Add a custom title page for each section. I was almost going
to do this, but figured it wasn't worth it for this quick
screenshot pass. - Instead of writing the "raw" data to OutputPath, and then
referencing that over to lds.org_clean, how about writing
everything to OutputPath/temp and then the final copies to
OutputPath/lds.org?But from what I see, it looks really good. Keep up the work!
