Got "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'regex'" when started ebook2audiobook.sh

[dragon1020]

Debian 12.6
Python 3.11.2

Module regex is installed system-wide (0.1.20221031-1+b1), and there is no errors when I start python and enters "import regex". But ebook2audiobook.sh ended with error:

Thanks, hopefully after this fix, I can run it on my Base model M4 mini

meanwhile you can add it manually:
conda activate ./python_env
pip install regex
conda deactivate
