I've totally rebuilt calibre with all deps and even downgraded to stable with the same problem occurring. When I google I'm only finding bits of code and nothing that seems related.
Code:
 $ calibre
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 20, in <module>
    sys.exit(calibre())
  File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/gui_launch.py", line 69, in calibre
    from calibre.gui2.main import main
  File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/gui2/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    from calibre.utils.date import UNDEFINED_DATE
  File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/date.py", line 15, in <module>
    from calibre.utils.iso8601 import utc_tz, local_tz, UNDEFINED_DATE
  File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/iso8601.py", line 9, in <module>
    from dateutil.tz import tzlocal, tzutc, tzoffset
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dateutil/tz/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .tz import *
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dateutil/tz/tz.py", line 23, in <module>
    from ._common import tzname_in_python2, _tzinfo, _total_seconds
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dateutil/tz/_common.py", line 2, in <module>
    from six.moves import _thread
ImportError: cannot import name _thread
Any suggestions?

You have tried to recompile dev-python/python-dateutil?

Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead and rebuilt it
Code:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ~] dev-python/python-dateutil-2.6.0::gentoo  PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 -pypy -pypy3 -python3_5 -python3_6" 0 KiB
and still getting the same output. Is there some python updater or repair tool I should be trying?

The cause turns out to be dev-python/python-dateutil 2.6.0. Downgraded to 2.4.2-r1 and calibre starts just fine.

Created a bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621988

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction>

Strange, I have calibre 2.85.1 and dev-python/python-dateutil-2.6.0 and in my system work fine

Seems I went off half-cocked ..... calibre 2.78.0(stable) and 2.80.0 will use python-dateutil 2.4.2-r1 but calibre 2.83.0 - 2.85.1 pulls in python-dateutil 2.6.0
I tried the downgrading python-dateutil after I went to stable calibre and didn't emerge the newer versions.

Is becoming an experienced python programer the only way to debugs things like this?

This has plaguing for some time now. My fix was to mask newer version of python-dateutil. However the new calibre has a dependency for 2.6 defined.

So here is what I did to fix my problem:

Execute find command:

Code:

# find / -mount -name six.pyc
/usr/lib64/calibre/six.pyc                                                                           
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ecdsa/six.pyc                                                     
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/six.pyc                                                           
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/_vendor/six.pyc                                     
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/M2Crypto/six.pyc                                                 
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/feedgenerator/django/utils/six.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/paver/deps/six.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/module_utils/six.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/six.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc


Then another find with equery:

Code:

# for i in $(find / -mount -name six.pyc); do equery b $i ; done

 * Searching for /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc ...
dev-python/urllib3-1.21.1 (/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc)
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/module_utils/six.pyc ...
app-admin/ansible-2.3.1.0 (/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/module_utils/six.pyc)
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/six.pyc ...
dev-python/pip-9.0.1-r2 (/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/six.pyc)
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc ...
dev-python/pip-9.0.1-r2 (/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc)


Only /usr/lib64/calibre/six.pyc had no package associated. And voila, removing this file fixed it for me. How I got to this particular file is beyond me.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Thanks a mill, also worked here.

I submitted a bug to the Calibre guys but they said it was not a Calibre issue but a distro issue.

Cheers, Ian

Sorry for my long delay.
That also fixed it for me. :)
