Windows installer:

• executable with all dependancies >>>link<<< 408Mio (noob pack)
• executable without dependancies >>>link<<< 14,7Mio
• Folder with all versions >>>link<<<

As mentioned before this script was written for Python >=3.4.x.

Additionally the packages PyQt4, lxml and Beautifulsoup4 are required.

To install all dependencies just use the console to navigate into the project folder and write

pip install -r requirements.txt

install pywin32: -> Pour python 3.4
-> Last release

For PyQt4 use the package at this address https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyqt4

1. Install ANACONDA => https://www.anaconda.com/download/#macos
2. Open a terminal
3. conda install -c anaconda pyqt=4.11.4

Download the script and navigate to the folder using the console then write

python wuxiaworld_export_ebook.pyw

or just use the start.bat file. If you didn't add Python to the PATH variable during the installation or afterwards the write

path/where/you/installed/python.exe wuxiaworld_export_ebook.pyw

If you whan to start the script without database update and version check you could add the argument noupdate in your command or use the start_without_update.bat

After that just select the novel you want to read, select the output mode(classic or alternative), the book number(if applicable) and the chapters range, finaly hit the "Generate" Button. Keep it mind that it will take some time for the script to finish, so don't close the window or the console if the program doesn't respond.

python3 wuxiaworld_export_ebook.pyw

or use the sctipt start.sh

If you have troube with missing text in some Novels use the legacy console application. This script scrapes differently and could resolve problems but may need to be modified to work.
