explode-book and implode-book problems
This used to work but I am getting "TypeError: a bytes-like object is required not str" when I run the following .bat file in Windows 8:

for /r %%f in (*.epub) do (
calibre-debug --explode-book -x "%%f" "%%~pnf"
)

It is supposed to create a directory for each epub and unzip all the files so that I can make batch edits on the html or css files.

It still creates the directories and unzips the files, but when I try to use implode-book, it fails completely, with no files created in the target directory. The .bat file to rebuild the epubs is:

mkdir ".\_RebuiltEpubs\"
for /d %%d in (*) do (
if not ".\%%d"==".\_RebuiltEpubs" (
calibre-debug --implode-book -i ".\%%d" ".\_RebuiltEpubs\%%d.epub"
)
)

I feel like a dummy but I am having trouble figuring this out. Thanks for any help.

this will likely be a python 3 regression post the full error.
