Whoa, if this works it'll greatly ease my saving of rare books.. without having to reboot into Windoze to use the Adobe eBook crap and Calibre just to save an unencrypted version. Thanks!
Update: This is awesome. To get it working I had to install some python3 dependencies since I'd recently upgraded my box. If the main
DeGourou.py
script isn't running, try installing these:$ pip3 install lxml pycryptodome cryptography charset_normalizer
(EDIT: just read
requirements.txt
it gives the above and some other dependencies. Duh.)Then download, while logged into archive.org, your borrowed book (download link should be "URLLink.acsm"; then run
$ python3 ./DeGourou.py -f /tmp/URLLink.acsm
... and the PDF with its proper filename will be saved into the curret directory.
pip install -r requirements.txt
That's how you install everything a project needs ;)
Thank you :) I didn't realize it was literally a script to install requirements!
It's not. It's a list of packages that python, when it sees the list, knows to download whilst maintaining compatibility and prevent circular dependencies (if possible)
The calibre (Alf) dedrm tool can work on Linux if you have your ADE set up on wine or on a windows partition
I was going to recommend Knock as an alternative to Adobe Digital Editions that can be used from a command line in Linux but I just discovered it's gone as well 😢

IIRC, Knock was basically a wrapper around this project.
