That's the UTF-8 BOM. I should have the plugin loader strip that.

SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
When I tried using calibre-debug, the console show a square in front of the "#" in the output. This was there for all three failing plugins. I pasted the above into the editor, and it tells me that the character is a zero-width no-break space. All three have that character at the start of the file that causes the error. That should be fixed by the plugin authors, but, it is a difference in how they are handled. But, is it actually a sign of a bug in the zipimport module? |
