[SOLVED] Unable to edit book in Calibre 1.16.0

I am using Calibre 1.16.0 packaged by Alien Bob. When trying a new feature to edit e-books I gat the following error message.

Is anyone else seeing this, or have any suggestions on how to fix it.

Can't you just first check if that Python module is installed or not?

About the first thing I checked

Quote:

bash-4.2# slocate colors.py
/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/ebooks/rtf2xml/colors.py

As you can see I have a version in the calibre directory but not in the python2.7 directory that is being searched, I suppose that I could symlink, but that is only hiding the problem not fixing it.

Works fine here samac: Slackware64 -current with my calibre-1.16.0 package.
The package was built in a fresh Slackware 14.1 Virtual Machine and works flawlessly on this desktop. I can edit a book from within Calibre, and I can also start "ebook-edit" from the commandline and load a book to edit.
Do you have version 0.9.9 of the python-cssutils installed? Older versions will not work.

Brilliant python-cssutils-0.9.9-x86_64-1alien was installed, but I reinstalled it and the problem is now fixed.

Thank you, marking as solved.
