I was having a ton of trouble getting this to run (mostly because I don't use a mac), so I recreated it in Python.

David, I tried your script in windows 10 and get a syntax error in line 1 {!DOCTYPE html}

Oddly this did run on my machine which is also Win10. There's a typo in the first line where I put an extra space after the "!". On windows you don't need this line at all however.

Thanks for creating this Python to use on Windows!
I have tried running it and it states that there is a syntax error in line 28 position 29. Any thoughts?
Can you provide a little bit of instruction similar to what people have posted above in regards to the Mac instructions? i.e. Place downloaded files at this location, change this to point to pepperplate file, etc.

Hi everyone. We have added support for directly importing Pepperplate .db files into the latest version of Paprika, so you don't need to go through this process anymore. :)

Same with RecipeSage (recipesage.com) if you're looking for a free alternative :)

Doesn't require a .db file since it grabs the recipes directly from Pepperplate itself.

I tried importing from Pepperplate into recipesage.com and it appears to have worked quite well. I have not had time yet to try recipesage but I look forward to seeing if it suits my needs.

I've updated the RecipeSage import tool after some feedback from users. It's a bit faster and more reliable now.

Also, just an FYI - RecipeSage supports export, so even if you're not looking to use RecipeSage long term, you can use it to transform your recipes into text, JSON, or XML.

For anyone else using this and seeing the export contain only 3 recipes, it's because of the following lines:

#for id in $ids
for id in 483 1 435

If you change this to just:

for id in $ids

then all recipes will be exported. The version with the "483 1 435" was presumably there for debugging to avoid dumping too much data at once. (Sorry if this is stated elsewhere in the thread -- I didn't see it)

For anyone looking, please note that at least as of late September 2020, Paprika now directly imports Pepperplate's text file export that Pepperplate will allow you to do for free if you don't pay their extortionate rate to continue using their service. Everyone should be incredibly thankful for people like rgstephens writing code to help before the developers get their act together -- I certainly am, but at this point, no reason to muck with any of this, simply go to Pepperplate.com, export your recipes as a .zip file, and import that .zip file directly into Paprika.
Once again, thank you to the developer for providing this option prior to the development team.
