Previews Parser

A parser for PreviewsWorld text files containing new comic book release info.

Note that the parser will only return comics published by the following companies:

  • Marvel Comics
  • DC Comics
  • Image Comics
  • Dark Horse Comics
  • IDW Publishing

This is because PreviewsWorld does not specify publishers for any other releases. It simply categorizes them under "Comics & Graphic Novels".

Also note that the parser will only return comic book releases. It will ignore trade paperbacks and hardcovers as well as anything categorized as a toy.

Example usage

import previews_parser

f = open('newreleases.txt', 'r')
string = f.read()
output = previews_parser.parse(string)

# process output...
