Since a recent calibre update one of my custom columns is suddenly broken and is displaying:
EXCEPTION: cannot import name EvalFormatter
for all books. It's a "column built from other columns" using this template:
I don't know which update broke it, but I last noticed it working a few months ago. I have other columns "built from other columns" which do still work, for instance one using this template:
so it's something to do with the specific template that seems to be suddenly causing a problem.
Any help greatly appreciated!
