Hi,
For a start, using help isn't all that useful. Output for help of Versekey
is contained in attached help.txt. Using dir will usually be just as much
use. If I want to know how something works, I look at the c++ source code
(which is quite an opaque mess, I think :) If you have doxygen generated,
look at that. That may help a bit. A few of the methods are renamed, I
think. ie SWModule.search becomes SWModule.doSearch
Also, I do not know that there is any way to check whether a module contains
a certain book (though it probably doesn't if you go through a whole chapter
and it is empty)
To get all book names and chapter counts in old and new testaments:
__________________
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import Sword
vk=Sword.VerseKey()
def GetBooks():
for i in range(2):
for j in range(vk.bookCount(i+1)):
print vk.bookName(i+1, j+1),
print "has %d chapters" % vk.chapterCount(i+1, j+1)
def GetChapters(i, j):
bookname=vk.bookName(i, j)
for k in range(vk.chapterCount(i, j)):
print "%s %d has %d verses" % (bookname, k+1, \
vk.verseCount(i,j,k+1))
print GetBooks()
print GetChapters(1, 3) #old testament, 3rd book = Leviticus
print GetChapters(2, 3) #new testament, 3rd book = Luke

An updated version of your script with my comments added on certain points:
__________________
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import Sword
import sys
#mgr=Sword.SWMgr()
#mgr.getModule('KJV')
vk=Sword.VerseKey()
error=0
cnt=1
while 1:
print "cnt=%d" % cnt
# use the following instead of a count as when the counter gets to
Matthew,
# it automatically increments the testament and sets vk.Book() to 1
# ie
# >>> vk=Sword.VerseKey()
# >>> vk.Book(1)
# '\x00'
# >>> vk.Testament()
# '\x01'
# >>> vk.Book(40)
# '\x01'
# >>> vk.Book()
# '\x01'
# >>> vk.Testament()
# '\x02'
# So we do this below:
test=vk.Book(ord(vk.Book())+1) #use ord to change char -> int
cnt+=1
error=ord(vk.Error()) #with error, do error=ord(vk.Error()), this will
output a number instead of a char
if(error):break
name=vk.getBookName()
abr=vk.getBookAbbrev()
# count=vk.bookCount()
print "%s -> %s " %(abr,name)
print "error=",error
print vk.Index()
#print vk.UpperBound().Index() #This is only for keys with bounds set
#print vk.LowerBound().Index() #ditto

I m copying the list as well as the answer may be interesting to have on
the archive of the list.
I do not understand how to get a list of book that one can use in a
given module.
Using the following code, i have a sort of list of existing bible book:
__________________
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import Sword
import sys
#mgr=Sword.SWMgr()
#mgr.getModule('KJV')
vk=Sword.VerseKey()
error=0
cnt=0
while 1:
print "cnt=%d" % cnt
test=vk.Book(cnt)
cnt+=1
error=vk.Error()
name=vk.getBookName()
abr=vk.getBookAbbrev()
# count=vk.bookCount()
print "%s -> %s " %(abr,name)
print "error=",error
print vk.Index()
print vk.UpperBound().Index()
print vk.LowerBound().Index()

However, as my verse key does not know wich module i m interested in, i
cannot be sure all the book will be available for a given module (i
think tere are some translation that are not complete).
Plus, I do not see any new testament book (except for revelation).
I cannot understand how to detect i reach the end of the books.
Bear in mind that, as my python version does not seem to implement
help(), i guess what is available in the modules and object i have
with dir().
Before trying to understand every things related to text rendering, i
would be happy knowing how to:
-get a list of books in a module
-get a list of chapter in a book
-get a list of verses in a chapter
I hope the 3 mechanism are similar :)
Best regards
