As I told in another message, I am developing under Windows. I try to offer a Linux version, but it is untested since I don't have a collaborator who works in Linux. packages compatibility is a huge problem, and I don't master it. Due to other projects, I have no way to fix this. If someone is ready to join the project, it would be excellent news. Offering PdfBooklet is a service for those who are able to use it.

I apologise for reporting this bug. I must have overlooked the message you referred to.

I see this message was written on SourceForge and not here. I will add a message here. Several times I thought someone would give some help for Linux, but the project was never successful. Probably the easiest solution would be to add a Docker, but I have never used this technology.

if it's a python project, releasing it on pypi so users could install it with pip would be both multiplatform and convenient.

it is 100% python. I just wondered if it was sufficiently mature to be released on pypi, in a way it is always a beta. But I will think on it. Thanks.

[pseudomonas]

I don't see why not. Pypi has plenty of modules that are alpha or beta, you put that clearly in the documentation so as to manage expectations, and then people can decide to use it or not.

Also being able to install it as a module makes it easier to put it its own venv, which is good for software of unknown reliability.
