python-scribd

Simple yet powerful library for the Scribd API, allowing to write Python applications or websites that upload, convert, display, search, and control documents in many formats using the Scribd platform.

Scribd is the largest social publishing company in the world — the website where more than 60 million people each month discover and share original writings and documents.
