Though I said I'd wait, I was curious if I could compile it myself. So, I followed the instructions on this page: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...ypy/README.rst

I cloned both repos into a clean working directory, entered the calibre directory and issued the bootstrap command, after confirming all the dependencies were installed (as per this: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...y/sources.json).

I then followed the next step to bootstrap, and this is what happened:

shayaknyc@Garuda ~/../calibre> ./setup.py bootstrap
Already up to date.
