rbook: a simple vim style document viewer

rk700 · 2012-09-13 22:05:10

Hi,

I'm learning python recently and I've just finished my first project: rbook, a simple pdf manager. Though this program is really simple and I'm not sure if it's necessary to publish it, I just want to contribute:)

It depends on wxpython, and has a simple viewer using python-poppler to render. The viewer provides a vim style shortcuts. (This is my favourite feature.)

Please feel free to tell me if you have any ideas about it. Many thanks!

Update:

I've removed dependendcy on poppler, and now it uses python bindings of mupdf for rendering.

Main features:
* vim style key bindings
* support PDF/CBZ/XPS/DJVU
* continue from the page opened last time
* open documents in tabs

Dependencies:
* wxPython
* python-fitz for PDF/CBZ/XPS files
* python-djvulibre(optional) for DJVU files

In theory, I've got a need for something like this, though I would prefer not to install wx and, more important to me, maybe you could use mupdf and xembed it into the app directly.

Hey avx,

Thanks! I didn't even know mupdf before. It seems to be a better choice than poppler.
