calibre crash on source install

[eschwartz]

Attempting to run calibre built and "develop"ed from a git checkout (again, thanks for the guidance ), calibre crashes and burns with the following message:

calibre, version 2.32.1
ERROR: Startup error: There was an error during calibre startup. Parts of calibre may not function. Click Show details to learn more.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Probable cause -- ArchLinux just updated PyQt to 5.5 today.

Works on my Arch system with PyQt 5.5 and Qt 5.5.0

You might need to re-build the calibre pyqt plugins.

rm -rf build && python setup.py build

[eschwartz]

I could totally swear I built those from scratch today.

Yes, it works.

And now I get:

trying to edit cells. The cell I want to edit appears floating in the top left corner.

After posting about a problem I can't go away without finding *something* wrong.

[eschwartz]

Success!

And I am now successfully running a source install from git, which means I can pull changes and rebuild extensions. I finally have fulfillment in life.

On a totally irrelevant note: the source install has access to the default system Qt theme, I guess, and boy is it ugly and blocky. That setting must've accidentally switched at some point .

On a slightly less irrelevant note: exiting a setting in the Preferences appears to be called "Close without saving", whereas in the binary it was "Discard". I much prefer the former...
