Calibre won't start - KeyError: <type 'tuple'>

anthonyliu · 10-08-2012, 02:24 AM

I was trying to customize a recipe but maybe did something wrong. I closed Calibre and now it won't open. I tried all the recommendations on Calibre's FAQs but none of those worked, so I ran the debug command line and here is what I got. Thank you so much for your time and all your help will be super appreciated!

Locate the folder custom_recipes inside the calibre configuration directory and delete the files in it.
