I feel the author's pain.

There's a Python2 project for ebook management that I used pretty extensively years ago, but it depended on a number of external dependencies, both as compiled shared objects and other Python libraries. It felt extremely fragile and was always a pain to get it working properly, so I eventually rewrote the core parts of the entire project for my own use (in Rust, incidentally). Now I have a single app that I can be sure will pretty much always work.



I also have a personal Rust ebook manager because of frustrations with calibre :)

Though Calibre has at least made it to Python 3 these days.
