 Installation:
 1) Add this package as a python wrapper to search the comicvine api:
   https://github.com/jessebraham/comicvine-search
    I wasn't able to get this module to install so I copied it to the same folder as the .py file (or add to you env of course)
 2) Replace [mylar api key] with your api key 
 3) Replace [mylar server address] with your server in the format: http://servername:port/  (make sure to include the slash at the end)
 4) Replace [comicvine api key] with your api key

 Usage:
    python3 cbltomylar.py cblfiletoimport.cbl
 You can also use wildcards:
    python3 cbltomylar.py *.cbl
    
 results are output to std out if you want to save to a file add > logfile.txt

 Notes:
 Marvel or DC Comics are the only acceptable publishers that are allowed.  This is hardcoded in, but you can edit the code to add more.
 Without this, I was getting non-english publications.
 All matches of series and volume year will be added.  So if there are multiple matches, multiple series will be added.

 Reference: Mylar general structure for API:
        http://localhost:8090 + HTTP_ROOT + /api?apikey=$apikey&cmd=$command

 '''
 This is an updated script from TheMadman which adds a ton of functionality to my script and also cleans up the code. Here's a description from him:
 It will import all the CBL files in a subfolder called 'ReadingLists' and store the data in a csv file to keep track of changes. It will keep a register 
 of series name and year (as found in your readinglists), and lookup the CV id and publisher which match (allowing for preferred and blacklisted publishers). 
 It will then check/add to Mylar based on user preference.
 If you add new files to your readinglist folder and re-run the script, it will merge the new series it finds with the existing data from previous runs rather
 than potentially double handling the same series every time you read a cbl file.
 Only issue I've found is that sometimes there are 2 matches for a series with the same year found in CV (both with Marvel as publisher) so it's impossible to 
 know which comicID is correct without more info.


 Installation:
 1) Download & install this package (required for searching the comicvine api):
   https://github.com/jessebraham/comicvine-search
 2) Create a folder called 'ReadingLists' in the same directory as the script and add any CBL files you want to process into this folder
 3) Replace [MYLAR API KEY] with your Mylar3 api key
 4) Replace [MYLAR SERVER ADDRESS] with your server in the format: http://servername:port/  (make sure to include the slash at the end)
 5) Replace [CV API KEY] with your comicvine api key
 6) Optional - Modify the following options:
    - PUBLISHER_BLACKLIST : List of publishers to ignore during CV searching
    - PUBLISHER_PREFERRED : List of publishers to prioritise when multiple CV matches are found
    - ADD_NEW_SERIES_TO_MYLAR : Automatically add CV search results to Mylar as new series
    - CV_SEARCH_LIMIT : Set a limit on the number of CV API calls made during this processing.
                        This is useful for large collections if you want to break the process into smaller chunks.

 Usage:
    python3 cbl-mylar-import.py

 Results are output to "output.csv" in the same directory as the script

 Notes:
    - Series are found based on series name and year match.
    - If multiple results are found, any matches of the preferred publisher will be prioritised.
    - For multiple matches, this script will output the last result found.
    - CV api calls are limited to once every 2 seconds, so this script can take a while for large collections.
        It is not recommended to reduce this, however you can modify the rate using the CV_API_RATE var.
    - If you mess anything up, you can simply delete the output.csv or force a re-run using the Mylar & CV FORCE_RECHECK vars.

	Installation:
	1) Add this package as a python wrapper to search the comicvine api:
	https://github.com/jessebraham/comicvine-search
	I wasn't able to get this module to install so I copied it to the same folder as the .py file (or add to you env of course)
	2) Replace [mylar api key] with your api key
	3) Replace [mylar server address] with your server in the format: http://servername:port/ (make sure to include the slash at the end)
	4) Replace [comicvine api key] with your api key

	Usage:
	python3 cbltomylar.py cblfiletoimport.cbl
	You can also use wildcards:
	python3 cbltomylar.py *.cbl

	results are output to std out if you want to save to a file add > logfile.txt

	Notes:
	Marvel or DC Comics are the only acceptable publishers that are allowed. This is hardcoded in, but you can edit the code to add more.
	Without this, I was getting non-english publications.
	All matches of series and volume year will be added. So if there are multiple matches, multiple series will be added.

	Reference: Mylar general structure for API:
	http://localhost:8090 + HTTP_ROOT + /api?apikey=$apikey&cmd=$command

	'''
	This is an updated script from TheMadman which adds a ton of functionality to my script and also cleans up the code. Here's a description from him:
	It will import all the CBL files in a subfolder called 'ReadingLists' and store the data in a csv file to keep track of changes. It will keep a register
	of series name and year (as found in your readinglists), and lookup the CV id and publisher which match (allowing for preferred and blacklisted publishers).
	It will then check/add to Mylar based on user preference.
	If you add new files to your readinglist folder and re-run the script, it will merge the new series it finds with the existing data from previous runs rather
	than potentially double handling the same series every time you read a cbl file.
	Only issue I've found is that sometimes there are 2 matches for a series with the same year found in CV (both with Marvel as publisher) so it's impossible to
	know which comicID is correct without more info.


	Installation:
	1) Download & install this package (required for searching the comicvine api):
	https://github.com/jessebraham/comicvine-search
	2) Create a folder called 'ReadingLists' in the same directory as the script and add any CBL files you want to process into this folder
	3) Replace [MYLAR API KEY] with your Mylar3 api key
	4) Replace [MYLAR SERVER ADDRESS] with your server in the format: http://servername:port/ (make sure to include the slash at the end)
	5) Replace [CV API KEY] with your comicvine api key
	6) Optional - Modify the following options:
	- PUBLISHER_BLACKLIST : List of publishers to ignore during CV searching
	- PUBLISHER_PREFERRED : List of publishers to prioritise when multiple CV matches are found
	- ADD_NEW_SERIES_TO_MYLAR : Automatically add CV search results to Mylar as new series
	- CV_SEARCH_LIMIT : Set a limit on the number of CV API calls made during this processing.
	This is useful for large collections if you want to break the process into smaller chunks.

	Usage:
	python3 cbl-mylar-import.py

	Results are output to "output.csv" in the same directory as the script

	Notes:
	- Series are found based on series name and year match.
	- If multiple results are found, any matches of the preferred publisher will be prioritised.
	- For multiple matches, this script will output the last result found.
	- CV api calls are limited to once every 2 seconds, so this script can take a while for large collections.
	It is not recommended to reduce this, however you can modify the rate using the CV_API_RATE var.
	- If you mess anything up, you can simply delete the output.csv or force a re-run using the Mylar & CV FORCE_RECHECK vars.
