hello,
Until a couple of days ago I was using Calibre 0.9.24 in combination with ActivePython 2.7.2.5 (Windows MSI X86) and PyCrypto 2.3 (for 32bit Windows and Python 2.7). Both ActivePython & PyCrypto run under Wine 1.5.26. I know of a Linux version of Python, though I can't figure out how to use it for purposes of Calibre ebook-adding/-converting. The Windows version worked all right
Recently I had to completely re-install Xubuntu 12.04. After re-installing Wine, and while installing ActivePython (and then PyCrypto), a window popped up: sorry I don't have the whole error message, it said something like
pythonw.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (if I remember correctly, it also said that this error might be due to some deficiency in Wine).
As I closed the error message window, the installation was completed (or so it seemed, no further error messages were given) and now both AP and PyC appear to be correctly installed in the Main Menu under Wine. The things is that the Calibre ebook conversion no longer works, and I don't really know if this has anything to do with the error message above.
How can I make sure that ActivePython and PyCrypto work correctly under Wine? Alternatively, how can I make use of their Linux equivalent and "force" Calibre to use them?
Thanks for your help!
