Help Kovid 7.31 still getting python error

sadievan · 11-28-2010, 02:28 PM

Still getting the python error.
'Python function terminated unexpectedly'
(error code 1)

I uninstalled 7.31 removed the Calibre Library folder. Program Files\Calibre2 was already removed. Rebooted and re-installed. Still getting an error message.

Ran 'calibre-debug -g' from prompt. Here is the result:

C:\Program Files\Calibre2>calibre-debug -g
Python function terminated unexpectedly
(Error Code: 1)

Hope you can fix this. I really like Calibre and want to be able to use it on my netbook. If you need any more info, let me know.

search your computer for a folder named gen_py, delete it and then try running calibre.

Did a search and don't have this folder on my computer. What should I do next?

Not sure if it is a problem with python 2.7 since I have that on my computer along with pycrypto and python is working fine.

its likely to be inside a hidden folder, so make sure you enable searching in hidden folders.

Another file you can try to look for and delete is

dicts.dat

Neither one show up. I already have it set to show hidden files/folders. Anything else?

open a command prompt and run this command

calibre-debug -c "from win32com.client.gencache import Rebuild; Rebuild(True)"

hopefully that will rebuild the dicts.dat file for you correctly

Thanks so much for all your effort. Will be waiting patiently (well maybe not so patiently :-D. Patience is definitely not one of my virtues) for Friday. Think I will re-install 7.29 in the meantime.
