Efforts to port calibre to python 3 are ongoing. calibre can be run
using python3 under Linux. To do so, install python 3, checkout calibre
from source with
git clone git@github.com:kovidgoyal/calibre.git && cd calibre
Then, setup calibre to run under python2, with:
python2 setup.py bootstrap
Check that calibre works, with:
python2 run-local calibre
Now build the calibre C extensions for python 3 with:
CALIBRE_PY3_PORT=1 python3 setup.py build
You should now be able to run the calibre test suite using:
CALIBRE_PY3_PORT=1 python3 setup.py test
And run calibre itself (which may not work) with:
python3 run-local calibre
For the status of the port, and discussion of its design, see
