You can have the GUI autostart its embedded server so that the server is down for only a few seconds.

I somehow figured as such.
I'd very much appreciate such a feature before the beta graduates...
Though I suppose I can simply stop/start the service in the same wrapper script I already use for debug logging anyway, still, that is a bit of an ugly workaround which shouldn't be required in production releases.
Is this like a "calibre won't work" thing, or a best-practices-when-referencing-localhost thing?

Because zeroes are easier to type really really fast.
...
It did highlight the fact that using `calibre-debug -g` doesn't seem to have a way to specify the library to start up with the way the main executable does, though whether that is urgent in the backdoor debug version is questionable.

That error is caused by an outdated version of mechanize, you need version 3.3

Huh, so it is. I notice you have saved me the effort of flagging it out of date on
https://www.archlinux.org/packages -- rebuilding it myself got it to work, despite my use of
0.0.0.0.
