I have looked around for a manga library application to keep up with all of the manga that I am reading and could not find anything that satified me. This is how Shiro was born.

Shiro is writen in in python 3.4 (writen for what PyQt4 is). To Build Shiro make sure that you have python 3.4 installed and run shiro.py. Make sure that you also have the dependencies needed to build it.
Shiro uses cx_Freeze to package the application to different platforms.
Note: before freezing you have to make sure that the location is correct in main_window.py
class Window(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()
# @NOTE: toggle these two lines depending on how you are running. The first one is for develop 2nd for building
# location = 'shiro/ui/main_window.ui'
location = 'main_window.ui'
uic.loadUi(location, self)Once you have made sure that the location is set to the above example you are ready to freeze the application.
To freeze the application open up a terminal/console in root folder and run the command
python setup.py build
If you want to build an installer run this command the same way that you ran the build command
python setup.py bdist_msi
python setup.py bdist_dmg
