I'm not able to reproduce this error on my Windows and Linux machines, unless I change the interpreter to Python 2.7. Can you please post a sample epub that reliably causes this error.

@roger64:

The error message is missing the last part (marked in Magenta). It should look like this:

Spoiler:

Status: failed

C:\Program Files\Sigil\plugin_launchers\python\sigil_bs4\__init__.py:187: UserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("lxml"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

To get rid of this warning, change this:

 BeautifulSoup([your markup])

to this:

 BeautifulSoup([your markup], "lxml")

  markup_type=markup_type))

Please post the complete error message, including all lines after:

BeautifulSoup([your markup], "lxml")

For others that are curious about this, the plugin uses the book title as the file name and chokes if Python 2.7 is selected and book title contains accented characters or umlauts.

If you have the plugin installed please test this issue:

1. Create a blank epub.
2. Change the book title to öäöüöasf (or any other title that contains at least one accented character/umlaut)
3. Run the plugin.
