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!
