My impression is that pretty much everyone on Windows uses Calibre for this kind of thing anyway so the command line and scripts are kind of underdeveloped there; and it's just a pain to setup the development environment.

I actually had been using the standalone scripts for the longest time. Last working version on Windows was v6.5.5.
The addition of KFX support (v6.6.0) broke the Windows DeDRM app. This was on the exact same system and python setup where v6.5.5 and older ran. Even tested the scripts side by side and v6.5.5 worked but v6.6.x did not. I finally learned v6.6.0 had additional dependencies (LZMA) and for the life of me, I couldn't find a way to get it installed on Windows. PyPI doesn't want to work and I can't find working standalone Windows install packages for pylzma or backports.lzma. I've given up and just switched my standalone scripts to v6.5.5 and use Calibre when I need KFX.
