FanFicFare v3.27.0

Installation instructions:

Calibre Plugin:

Install attached plugin zip file, or use Calibre's 'Get plugins' feature.

Command line interface:

FanFicFare is delivered as a pip Python package.

pip install FanFicFare
or
pip install --upgrade FanFicFare
...to update.

(pip will automatically install dependencies.)

Run fanficfare -h from command-line.

Changes:

• Add use_cloudscraper code to use with CloudFlare sites, like fanfiction.net now does.
• Changes to allow email chapter update URLs to work in adapter_wattpadcom
• Updates for many included dependencies

This version includes the module cloudscraper and dependencies and is configured to use it for fanfiction.net and fictionpress.com.

This probably won't help with ffnet in older Calibre versions due to CloudFlare detecting that older versions of OpenSSL bundled in them. If an older version works for you, great, but don't expect it to.

FFF does still work in older Calibre versions for other sites.

I have tested both CLI in Python3 and plugin in Calibre v5.7.2 on Win10, Mac(BigSur) and Linux.
