Create epub's using python. Pypub is a python library to create epub files quickly without having to worry about the intricacies of the epub specification.
The current release of pypub is available through pip:
$ pip install pypub
Pypub is currently only compatible with Python 2.
>>> import pypub
>>> my_first_epub = pypub.Epub('My First Epub')
>>> my_first_chapter = pypub.create_chapter_from_url('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB')
>>> my_first_epub.add_chapter(my_first_chapter)
>>> my_first_epub.create_epub('OUTPUT_DIRECTORY')- Pypub is easy to install and has minimal dependencies.
- Pypub abstracts the epub specification. Create epubs without worrying about what an NCX is.
- Pypub can create epubs from websites, html files, strings, or a combination of all three.
- Pypub can clean up poorly formatted and complicated html so it will cleanly as a chapter in your book.
- Pypub creates epubs specifically so they can be converted into Amazon Kindle mobi or azw3 files. Don't know which tags Amazon supports? Don't worry about it because pypub does.
- Pypub is customizable. Don't like the way pypub sanitizes html files for you ebook? Pypub can be configured with your own sanitation function.
- Pypub is licensed under the MIT license. Do what you want with it.
