wine users - Jun 2011 - Wine + Calibre

Hi,

I have installed Calibre using wine 1.3.22 . The program is not usable since
adding/converting ebooks is not working.

Running wine calibre-debug -g I get the following error:

Exception in thread Thread-4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "threading.py", line 530, in __bootstrap_inner
  File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\server.py", line 221, in run
  File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\server.py", line 139, in
launch_worker
CriticalError: Failed to launch worker process:

do_launch
  File "multiprocessing\connection.py", line 121, in accept
  File "multiprocessing\connection.py", line 373, in deliver_challenge
IOError: [Errno 233] Pipe not connected

It seems to me a bug with python.
Firstly, I installed Python 2.7 and then 3.2... Still the same problem.

I even deleted the wine directory and i installed calibre WITHOUT python and I
still get the same error!!!!!!!!
Does wine have python builtin... does it use the linux version?


Wine output is the following:
  fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks

Might it be python 2.6? I notice that, in general, python is not
backward compatible - a major design error IMO. Its also quite easy (too
easy?) to write non-portable code. In addition there is more than one
flavour of Python for Windows which may or may not be compatible. I
wouldn't know: I've only looked at Python for Linux and have backed off
that once I realised that a 2.6 program isn't guaranteed to run under
2.7 or 3.2 - a disappointment, as apart from that, it seems quite a good
language.

Have you talked to the authors to see what version of Python they used
to write Calibre? 
 
What flavour of Python have you installed - Linux or Windows?

Ok why not using the Linux version iceblue

Wine does not provide python.  But the windows calibre installer does.

Yes this what you are running into would be a reportable bug.  iceblue 

Rule one if native version of a program exists try that.  Since native version
normally is fully functional where the version in wine may have defects due to
wine incomplete status.
