Comment 12 for bug 1637353

Hi Kovid, I have a quick question..but firstly: Thank you for emailing me
re: resolution of bug 1637353 (cover images). I'm looking very forward to
Calibre 3 because I have a high pixel density display (newer versions of
calibre display only the upper right quadrant of cover images, so i'm using
v2.55 till v3 is released...just in case it helps you to know that!)

*More importantly, I have a quick question as I'm editing my library and
have found the python 'split' function does not work. *
*(I want to take the first 2 words of the series name -to use in a custom
'Book Title' column.) *
*I created a temp column to hold the first 2 words of the series name - **MY
TEMPLATE FOR #temp is *
                  *#series:split{}[:2]*

*This does not work.* If I can get it working my book title column will use
this template: {#temp}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}

Thanks Kovid -
Dr. Alidina

*NB I've read the calibre template language documentation - it indicates
that python commands should translate to calibre (but perhaps they require
some modification I'm not aware of??)
