can I assist in getting the current obok_plugin into Calibre's plugin list? #414

I've been hooking into the noDRM/DeDRM_tools for both DeDRM and the obok_plugin for a command line tool here: https://github.com/cameron-simpson/css/tree/ebooks/lib/python/cs/ebooks

I've been working against a checkout from github. This morning I added code to automatically use the plugin from a local Calibre install and discovered that, at least for the obok_plugin, it is ancient Python 2 code lacking your Python 3 updates and Calibre does not see an updated version.

Can we arrange to update version of the plugin Calibre looks at?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here.

Due to the questionable legality of these two plugins - both the DeDRM_plugin and the obok_plugin - they are not included with any Calibre install and they also can't be downloaded or updated directly from Calibre - they need to be downloaded from this Github repository.

If you're writing custom code or custom applications that will use an installed obok_plugin code from the installed Calibre, it will use whatever version the user has installed in their Calibre profile. That means if your code is loading ancient Python 2 code, then it looks like you have an ancient Python 2 version of the obok plugin installed.
