Is this still being maintained? #13

I recently purchased a book on Degrowth from Verso only to discover their silly social DRM watermarks and so ended up here because I want to remove them.

Forgive my ignorance (I don't think I've ever actually tried to install/ use a python script before), but at present cure.py doesn't seem to even install :(

~/Downloads$ python cure.py 
  File "cure.py", line 8
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Or am I just doing something wrong?

I'd love to use this, so am hoping it's still being maintained and someone can help me? :)

thanks in advance!

OK, so I was being silly and hadn't download the file properly, but now I just get this:

/Downloads$ python cure.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cure.py", line 29, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
ImportError: No module named bs4

But I have installed bs4

$ pip install bs4

But I guess there is some other issue

Hi, i just found this script today and I make it work. Just you are still searching for a solution, what it worked for me was to create a virtual environment for python 2 (as my os use python 3) and then installed both libraries (BeatifulSoup and Wand) and it worked. I've done it on linux

I tried this but it's complaining about PyQt5 and I can't get that to install on Python 2.7.
