Hi,
sorry for the rookie question but I have trouble to get the Calibre database running. I'm trying my first steps to write an external (standalone) python program to extend the Calibre metadata of my Calibre library with some thousands of Amazon books.
The environment is KUbuntu 16.04.3, Calibre 3.15.0. I followed the installation instructions from
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html and installed a binary Calibre 3.15.0 and the source code from git. Python is 2.7.12.
I try to create a very simple program in the src folder ($CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM) and point it to my Calibre test library
Code:
from calibre.library import db
db = db('/home/myuserid/Calibre Library').new_api
but all I get is
Code:
python calibreDbTest.py
Hello, world!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibreDbTest.py", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'resources_location'
/home/myuserid/Nextcloud/work/calibre/src/calibre/ptempfile.py:29: RuntimeWarning: Parent module 'calibre' not found while handling absolute import

Do I miss anything essential here?
Thanks for hints and help
