<div dir="ltr">Hi David,<br><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I've already read that section of the wiki, and are fully aware of and accept the risk of changing module formats breaking pysword. That being said, I've also noticed that the format of the modules haven't changed much over the last years, so from my point of view the risk is not high, but feel free to prove me wrong.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">As I've explained earlier on this list, the work needed to maintain builds of the C++ SWORD API and python bindings for multiple platforms, was simply too much, and overkill for what I needed.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Btw, the module formats are documented in the pysword README - if you should need it ;-)<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Best regards,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Tomas<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-11-10 20:09 GMT+01:00 David Haslam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dfhmch@googlemail.com" target="_blank">dfhmch@googlemail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Please refer to <a href="https://crosswire.org/wiki/File_Formats#SWORD_modules" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://crosswire.org/wiki/<wbr>File_Formats#SWORD_modules</a><br>

viz.<br>
<br>
Other than the source code for the SWORD API, there is no documentation for<br>
the file format of a SWORD module. There is no other documentation. The<br>
intention is that the SWORD API (or the JSword implementation) is used<br>
directly or via other language bindings.<br>
<br>
Whilst our software is open source, our module file format is proprietary,<br>
in the sense that we see no need to document it and certainly no need to<br>
stick to it. We change it when we need to. We therefore do not encourage<br>
direct interaction with it, but firmly recommend use of the API (either C++<br>
or Java). This is the place where we seek stability and consistency.<br>
