Book Submissions
- Goodreads & Google Books integration working
- Description generation working
- Upload form untested
Okay squashed, tested (working) and ready to review, thoughts please @mueslo?
Things I don't like:
- pycountry package just to workout the book language from a 3 letter code, we really only need an iso-639 lookup list Goodreads gives us 'eng' and Google Books gives me 'en'. I'd rather the full-name of the language, so that's why it's here
- Goodreads description has HTML in it, right now it's regex'd out, but we could do some html2bbcode to preserve formatting (which would be nice)
- calibre dependency for ebook-meta, the less-nice way is to just fail gracefully and let the user input the isbn manually (which they're able to do now)
- no Edition Note, not sure how to do this based on what Goodreads is giving me
- tags are not so great, might need another source, there's no specific flag anywhere for fiction or non-fic and it's only sometimes in the Google Books categories
- cover art from Google Books (as Goodreads can't/won't distribute cover art) is tiny
- no tests

Any chance to add some sort of automatic subcategorisation logic like is present for video/audio? https://github.com/mueslo/pythonBits/blob/faeb9714067a5399ab3fab414008c0218ff03404/pythonbits/bb.py#L83-L90

Interesting, let me try and see what I can do!
