It has nothing to do with a "system-installed version of Python". It has to do with Calibre's Python. If you use any of my plug-ins or add-ons that generate calibredb subprocesses (ZMI, CALM, Q&S, and Library Codes), the instructions in their Original Posts must be followed viz a viz generic Python temporary file environment variables, or they will fail for a variety of reasons. In Windows, it would be a security/permissions issue, since the default temporary directory would likely be the directory where calibredb.exe exists.
