books

This is a Python 3.6+ script to open my collection of books, papers and manuals. It is tested on Linux. It can work on Windows with little modifications.

It is expected that the folders are divided based on the subject of the books and papers they contain. Also, both the files and the folders should follow a predefined naming scheme.

Naming scheme for Books/Papers

For folders the naming scheme is:

subject__keyword

Notice the __ to separate the subject and the keyword. For instance, if the subject is optimization and the chosen keyword is opt then the name scheme would be

optimzation__opt

For files the name scheme is:

author1_author2__filename

Again notice the __ to separate the authors and the filename.

Manuals

Just place the manual to a folder. There is no need for a specific naming scheme.

Install

• add this folder to PYTHONPATH
• edit the scripts from ./bin to specify the location of books, papers, etc.
• copy the scripts from ./bin to your PATH.
