https://pypi.org/project/EpubMerge/ is 404. Is this package on PyPI?

It is one of handful of packages in openSUSE that do not appear to be on PyPI. https://repology.org/project/python:epubmerge/versions

EpubMerge does not have a PyPi package. I started setting it up once, but stopped for... reasons? Probably didn't want to deal with py2 vs py3 at the time. Really, it's a lot more useful as a Calibre Plugin than as a CLI.

If you personally would use an EpubMerge CLI, I'll put it on my list to come back to. But not if it's just for completionism.

As for openSUSE, I cannot take responsibility for what downstream packagers may do.

I would personally use an EpubMerge CLI; I use FanFicFare only as a CLI, and I only use Calibre's ebook-convert and ebook-viewer commands, not the collection manager itself.

(I've in fact started trying to write a Gentoo ebuild to turn the source from the release snapshot tarball into a form I can install and use from the command line, but very quickly ran into the problem that epubmerge/__init__.py refers to a Calibre-internal class that's not installed to anywhere on the PYTHONPATH ...)

It doesn't matter to me whether it's on PyPI or not, so long as there's some way to get a usable and installable CLI script.

epubmerge.py can be downloaded and run CLI by itself. -h to see the options.

I haven't done more than cursory testing of it in a long time, but I don't know of any reason why it shouldn't still work.

Thanks! That works. I started with trying to make my ebuild install the whole thing, and so ignored the obvious ...

Maybe make the README explain that epubmerge.py can be run from the command line without any special setup, though? After writing an ebuild for (the CLI part of) FanFicFare I was primed to expect the CLI to be more complicated.

Can this be turned into a proper package? It would be easier to use then.
