error installing plugin
Hi,
I tried to install a plugin in calibre V.2.59. Installation does not work and
I got the error "does not contain a top-level_init_.py file" (win 8.1)
I found pylib.zip in the calibre folder.
What does this mean?
What's to do?

That error probably means the plugin file is corrupt. Or not actually a plugin. What plugin was it and where did you get it?

You did leave the plugin in its ZIP.

A Calibre PI is a 'Zipped Package'

Thank you, installing a *.zip should be ok, as far as I know. But I discovered now, that in the zipped plugin there was another *.zip, which I had to install. All ok now!
