Same problem here. Renaming the json file helps temporarily.

This didn't do the trick for me. I still have the following msg:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\simple_worker.py", line 289, in main
File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\metadata\sources\worker.py ", line 102, in single_identify
File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\metadata\sources\update.py ", line 79, in patch_plugins
File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\metadata\sources\update.py ", line 62, in patch_search_engines
File "<string>", line 11, in <module>
ImportError: No module named polyglot.builtins
Does anyone have a solution?

Further to msg #18. I deleted the json files and now they do not exist even when I restart calibre.

They get recreated when attempting a Metadata download, not by just starting Calibre

This solution works for me, I closed and opened calibre repeatedly and the problem seems no more here, I downloaded metadata each time.
