Darkseid

A Python library to interact with comic archives.

Installation

pip install darkseid

There are optional dependencies which can be installed by specifying one or more of them in braces e.g. darkseid[7zip]

The optional dependencies are:

• 7zip: Provides support for reading/writing to CB7 files.

• pillow: Provides support for getting page information that is used with ComicInfo.xml metadata.

• pdf: Provides support for reading/writing metadata in PDF comics and exporting them to CBZ format.

  The pymupdf dependency includes pre-built wheels for most platforms. On some platforms (e.g., Linux ARM, Windows), installation may require libstdc++ and C/C++ build tools to compile libmupdf. See the pymupdf documentation for details.

Example

from pathlib import Path
from darkseid.comic import Comic, MetadataFormat

comic = Comic(Path("my_comic.cbz"))

# Check if it's a valid comic
if comic.is_valid_comic():
    print(f"Comic '{comic.name}' has {comic.get_number_of_pages()} pages")

# Read metadata
if comic.has_metadata(MetadataFormat.COMIC_INFO):
    metadata = comic.read_metadata(MetadataFormat.COMIC_INFO)
    print(f"Series: {metadata.series.name}")

# Get a page
page_data = comic.get_page(0)  # First page
if page_data:
    with open("cover.jpg", "wb") as f:
        f.write(page_data)
