This is my current code
import ebooklib
from ebooklib import epub
class EpubToTextClass:
def __init__(self, dirToEpub=""):
self.dirToEpub = dirToEpub
def setDirToEpub(self, dirToEpub):
self.dirToEpub = dirToEpub
def convertEpubToText(self):
book = epub.read_epub(self.convertEpubToText)
items = list(book.get_items_of_type(ebooklib.ITEM_DOCUMENT))
text = ""
for i in items:
text = text + i
return text
ebpub = EpubToTextClass()
ebpub.setDirToEpub("-Some-EPUB.epub")
print(ebpub.convertEpubToText())
The goal of this part of the code is to convert a epub book to text, via the ebooklib but this error keeps popping up, and I am not completely sure what the error is about.
If you would like to see my whole error log, here it is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

fpin.seek(0, 2)
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'seek'
I figured it out later on.
Which was to change this:
book = epub.read_epub(self.convertEpubToText)
to
book = epub.read_epub(self.dirToEpub)
