Dinosaur Comic Metadata Processor

A set of tools for collecting various Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics metadata and compiling them into one JSON document.

It uses transcripts obtained using my other project, https://github.com/janek37/parse_qwantz.

Installation

Install qwantz-metadata with pip

  pip install qwantz-metadata

Usage

You need three directories: one containing the comic transcripts, one containing the footer transcripts, and one containing raw HTML files.

The transcripts and footers are required to be plain text files with filenames like <comic_id> - <image_filename>.txt, e.g. 0001 - comic2-02.png.txt.

The filenames of the HTML files are not relevant.

Once the directories are ready, run qwantz-metadata to print the combined metadata JSON document to the standard output:

$ qwantz-metadata <transcript_dir> <footer_dir> <html_dir> > output.json

Acknowledgments

This program would not be possible without the wonderful comics by Ryan North!
