I'm just letting you know that when you make people choose between running your (excellent) plugin, and running the distro version of calibre, some will for very good reasons choose to stick with the distro version of calibre.
If you were running calibre in a supported configuration, your complaint might be valid. As it is, running a version of calibre designed for Python2 under Python3 is not a supported configuration. I'd suggest addressing your complaints to the producers of your distro.

I can't see any reason for preferring the distro version over the version available from the calibre site never mind "very good reasons". Admittedly, that may be influenced by one distro I run which still shows calibre 3.3 as their preferred version.
