Thank you Tpt, your tool is *awesome*. I suggest everyone to use it: using Internet Archive to get the djvu and then Tpt's tool it's probably the best "from-scan-file-to-Commons" cycle I know, the most efficient and easy one. We are rewriting the italian wikisource Help pages accordingly, it's probably the only option I would like to mention :-)
I always suggest this option to libraries and GLAMs, as they can harness Internet Archive facilities to get different file formats (as the djvu) and also a good OCR. Right now, we only miss to steps to close the cycle: * have an easy way to Upload a book from Google Books to Internet Archive * have an easy way to upload metadata from Commons to Wikisource. Maybe Wikidata will help use in this.
