Conversion Error - TypeError: select_nth_last_child() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

[Victor Hooi]

I am using Calibre 2.23.0 on OSX.

I am trying to convert an AZW3 to MOBI format (filetype "both").

When I try to convert it, I get the following error (Gistfile at https://gist.github.com/victorhooi/bde910678b83e63ef870):

Convert book 1 of 1 (Beginning Python Programming: Learn Python Programming in 7 Days (Treading on Python Book 1))

 status incomplete

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.

Aha, cool, that was fast =).

So I'm guessing you don't need me to upload the AZW3 file anymore (I'm happy to, however, my understanding is that you've magically managed to fix it with out...lol).

I'm still trying to understand how the whole Calibre -> Send-to-Kindle thing works with cover images and Docs versus Books, but that's probably better covered in a separate ticket, or on the MobileRead forums.

Thanks for all your work on Calibre!
