According to the instructions in the commandline/readme.txt, I run the script by using:

Code:

calibre-debug -e me.py --help

According to:

Code:

man calibre-debug

and http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/calibre-debug.html I should instead use:

Code:

calibre-debug me.py -- --help

(the -e isn't necessary.)

And using

Code:

calibre-debug -e me.py --help

just gets me the help for calibre-debug. Or else using the options, it gets me an error (I assume calibre-debug has no idea what --smarten-punctuation is):

Spoiler:

So I found the instructions to use the extra "--" and it works just fine.
