The script converts XML to EWB files. Just paste it into VS Code, then run it in the terminal or command prompt. Make sure both the script and your XML Bible file are in the same folder.
Code:
EWB FORMAT DOCUMENTATION
SQLite database consisting of four tables
- books (metadata for books)
- rowid: Chronological ID/number of book
- name: Name of the book
- abbrev_name: Standardised abbreviated name of the book - this value is the same for a given book across any translation
- alt_name: English name of the book, usually inserted for non-English translations to aid easily searching for passages
- book_info: Binary data storing number of chapters and number of verses in each chapter
- First byte always stores the number of chapters in the book. If there is only one chapter, this is set to 0x00
- Subsequent bytes store the number of verses in each chapter, chronologically (i.e. 2nd byte = no of verses in
chapter 1, 3rd byte for chapter 2 etc)
- verse_info: Binary data storing the verse-specific information for each verse in the book
- Each verse in the book is represented by 8 bytes
- First 4 bytes defines the length of the verse and a pointer for where that verse starts in the stream
- 1st byte: Length of uncompressed text in verse (if >255, overflows into next 3 bytes)
- 2nd-4th bytes: Pointer for starting position of verse in uncompressed stream (little endian)
- Last 4 bytes defines the verse number, chapter number, book number and Bible translation ID
- 1st byte: Verse number multiplied by 4 (if >255, overflows into next byte)
- 2nd byte: Chapter number multiplied by 4 (if >255, overflows into next byte)
- 3rd byte: Book number (same as rowid) multiplied by 4 (if >255, overflows into next byte)
- 4th byte: Bible translation ID multiplied by 2 (hence why Bible IDs have a max value of 127)
- header (metadata for Bible translation)
- rowid: Always value of 1
- id: Unique ID for the Bible translation (valid range 1-127)
- key: ID for Bible licensing, 0 = free
- name: Full name of Bible translation
- abbrev_name: Abbreviated name of Bible translation
- lang_code: Two letter ISO-639 language code
- plugin_version: Plugin version, assumed to be used for updates
- format_version: Format version, assumed to be used for updates
- copyright: Copyright notice in RTF
- license: License notice in RTF
- streams (text for each book)
- rowid: ID of the book (corresponding to books table)
- stream: ZLib compressed stream of the book's text
- Appears to use the best level of ZLib compression based on header
- Last 10 bytes stores the length of the book's text before ZLib compression
- First 4 bytes: unknown, possible header - always 51 4b 03 04 in hex
- Next 4 bytes: packed little-endian 4-byte integer - length of text before compression
- Last 2 bytes: unknown, possible footer - always 08 00 in hex
- words (lookup table for words)
- rowid: ID of the word
- word: Word that appears in the text
- verse_info: Binary data storing where the word appears in the text
- Each verse where the word appears is represented by 4 bytes
- 1st byte: Length of uncompressed text in verse (if >255, overflows into next 3 bytes)
- 2nd-4th bytes: Pointer for starting position of verse in uncompressed stream (little endian)

Step-by-Step: Properly Install Python (with PATH)
Download Python from the official site:
You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.
Log in or register now.
Run the installer you download.
VERY IMPORTANT: On the first installer screen, check this box:
[✔] Add Python to PATH
Then click "Install Now" and let it finish.
After Installation
Once it's done, restart PowerShell or VS Code, and then run:
python --version
You should now see:
Python 3.x.x
Then you can run your script:
..............
To Run run.py in VS Code:
Open VS Code
Launch Visual Studio Code.
Extract and Open the Folder
If your file is in a folder, go to File > Open Folder, and open the folder containing run.py.
Check Your Python Environment
Make sure Python is installed and selected. You should see the selected interpreter at the bottom-left or top-right of the VS Code window. If not:
Run the Script
type: py run.py on the terminal
