conda install pyqt=4

If you want to start comictagger, you of course always have to switch to that environment first. You could of course make a batch script in the comictagger directory , so that you just need to click.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/14065171 for how to do it
In the batch file you just need:
source activate py27_qt4
python comictagger.py
OK, that was extremely helpful and we're making progress. This time, the App did not crash. I loaded Avengers #01 and told it to "auto identify." Instead of crashing, it failed to find the information and flashed me this message:

"Python Imaging Library (PIL) is not available and is needed for issue identification."

Is that some kind of add on for the program?

Now when I canceled that message, I did see a window asking me to select the series, so I think that helps.

EDIT: OK, update to the above. I do keep getting that error message, but it WORKS! I am now able to import the metadata by doing the following:
1) Adding the series name to each comic individual
2) Clicking on "Auto-Identify"
3) Clicking to cancel the error message about the Python Imaging Library
4) Select the appropriate comic series
5) Saving the tags after verifying the information appears accurate

THANK YOU!

Now, just some follow up questions:

1) What is that Python Image Library thing? Do I need it? Can I get it so that I don't keep getting that error message?
2) How do I batch import meta-data? It seems I have to repeat the above process individually with each comic - a pain to be sure, though still more helpful than Calibre which wouldn't even find the metadata.
