apkg created before dict.db has been created

[bnic24]

I've been adjusting this script to get it working with a french dictionary, and I noticed that when running the script for the first time, or with a new dictionary, I'm prompted to select the book and then an apkg is created before the dict.db has finished being created. The result is an Anki deck missing meanings. After a few minutes the dict.db is created and the script terminates.

If I run the script again a correct apkg is created.

@bnic24 Does this script work for you? What did you change in the script? Mine created an empty dict.db, and there's no definition.

Did you guys get it working? I was able to finally get everything to install properly but running the script only leaves me with an apkg that has the word and sentence context WITHOUT the meaning. dict.db is empty, 8kb, even though I left it running the first execution until it finished. I've run the script multiple times for the same book, and this doesn't fix the missing meanings.

It never worked for me. I gave up and wrote my own script. It uses WordNet definition instead of Kindle's built-in dictionary.

Do you have it posted anywhere or are willing to post? I've spent days trying to get one of these solutions to work, nothing works

It's customized for my own use. Just ask anything if you need help.

I've managed to fix it, but my solution isn't really case insensitive (you need to look for some schemes in your rawml dictionary in order to find proper separator if it varies from mine, which is h2).
