OK-I upgraded to python 2.7 on my shared host and set the Path to include the directory for the Python 2.7 binary. Then I ran the import command (see below) with the resulting error. I do not have access to sudo (artifact of shared hosting on DH) nor a gui console. What is the script trying to do nd can i fiddle it somehow so that I can get calibre up and running? On the other hand, without web based tools, is this something that is simply going to be more trouble than it is worth? I am just starting to realize that managing calibre from the command line only could be quite a pain.....
