AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'extensions_location'

I'm tryin to use Calibre in a Python Telegram bot and have already included calibre.utils.icu in this manner

from calibre.utils.icu import sort_key

But I'm getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\dev\Python\calibre-connect.py", line 21, in <module>
from calibre.utils.icu import sort_key
File "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre\src\calibre\__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
from calibre.constants import (iswindows, ismacos, islinux, isfrozen,
File "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre\src\calibre\constants.py", line 168, in <module>
plugins_loc = sys.extensions_location
AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'extensions_location'

Any ideas?

You cant really use calibre code in external python interpreters, except on linux, if you install calibre system-wide. On windows, if you want to use calibre use calibre-debug as the python interpreter.

calibre-debug file.py

Thank you for the quick response - do you know a python package that allows easily searching the Calibre-DB?

Calibre itself. See https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/dev...rts-of-calibre.

If for some reason you can't do that then use raw SQL with sqlite. Be aware that calibre uses locally defined triggers so some read queries will fail, and will most write queries.
