json.decoder.JSONDecodeError on Windows 10 with Python 3.7.0 32-bit about mech

[clc14]

Deleted the .mech directory, and now it's working.

But now it creates four different directories with the disk files:

13307551143
07/07/2018 02:33 PM 13307551145
07/07/2018 02:33 PM 13307551146
07/07/2018 02:33 PM 13307551147
07/07/2018 02:32 PM boxes
07/07/2018 02:32 PM data

I can get it to work by copying the vmdk's to the 13307551147 folder, where the .vmx file is

python -m tarfile -l vmware_desktop.box
13307551147/Vagrantfile
13307551143/disk-s001.vmdk
13307551145/disk-s002.vmdk
13307551146/disk-s007.vmdk
...
13307551147/disk.vmdk
13307551147/metadata.json
13307551147/ubuntu-14.04-amd64.nvram
13307551147/ubuntu-14.04-amd64.vmsd
13307551147/ubuntu-14.04-amd64.vmx
13307551147/ubuntu-14.04-amd64.vmxf

while running gnu tar -xvf puts them all in the same directory

This is only happening with bento images

This is weird, it seems the error comes from reading the index file. Could you please share your ~/.mech/data/index When the error shows.
