The issue is that the plugin is using a deprecated type name which has finally been removed in Python 3.12. If using the version on the Calibre download page (and its bundled Python 3.11) works for your personal system administration, great, use that since the community's hostile to native distro packaging. Otherwise, there's a patch posted in the plugin thread which works perfectly well.

I can't figure out how to edit my post, so sorry for the double message, but I wanted to do due diligence and acknowledge that nichobi also found the exact same issue and fix back in May. I didn't see that post until after I did my own digging into the Python release history and the plugin source code, but the fact that it was a known issue for that long, with such a straightforward fix, has contributed to my annoyance with the whole matter.

Going back to using Lotus Domino/Notes, I've run into quite a few programs that install their own private copies of dependency files. One was a ticketing program that was done in Python and Java. Updating either of those broke the original release so in the next release both Python and Java were installed with the program in it's directory so system Python and Java were not used. According to one of the programmers I chatted with, it cut their support calls by over ⅔.

Also note that Linux makes up 4.6% of the installed calibre base (Windows is 80.4% and MacOS 15%) and yet Linux users contribute about ~30% (a quick count) of install issues and most of those complaints are from distro installs. |

But, the most simple reason to use the official: Many distro packages are Frozen at time of release and don't get the bi-weekly updates ![]() |

And let us not forget that there is no system Python in Windows. There are, I imagine, a few Windows users. ;-)
