I took a look at this page, it sounds like importing the downloaded zip file plugin without unzipping it might be the cause from the comments, but since I didn't directly download this from the calibre forums, I am not sure that applies since I used the get plugin download feature within calibre itself, and I didn't directly download most of them from this forum, I normally install most of the plugins directly from calibre's plugin download system.

spicefather commented last month

Seems like you might be using the repo zip directly, you do need to unzip that and re-zip it as noted in my comment above. Once unzipped, go into the calibre-plugin folder, select everything, and create zip (7-zip or Windows' "Send to > Compressed folder" should both be fine).

this comment is the one I am referring to, since I don't need to uncompress or do a 7-zip thing with the plugin, I should not have to unzip the one that was downloaded with Calibre's plugin download system I think, it a bit confused me. but it almost sounds like a different problem.

my error does not have this in it below, from that page link.

calibre.customize.InvalidPlugin: The plugin in 'D:\\Documents\\libby-calibre-plugin-main.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

this page some what matches to the main code on that page,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.overdrive_libby.models", line 1077, in data

but that page has a few lines in the traceback that mine did not have if that matters, below in bold is the only matching traceback line, the rest of them I didn't get in my error.
