Hmmm - that's in accordance with chaley's observation in here ==>>

pylib.zip contains a swag of python intermediate code (.pyo - python object code ?), it presumably needs to be loaded when calibre starts. But why would chaley's instance of MSE get involved with that. Maybe because chaley runs calibre differently from most of us ?
There are sub-directories and files with the same name in pylib.zip, hence it cannot be unzipped on a regular Windows/NTFS system using a regular unzipper, viz:
But that's probably a red herring. I suspect the intermediate code is loaded direct from the zip file, also the 'duplicate' file names have no extension so presumably they'd be ignored, anyway I think they're all zero length.
