Hi,
Thanks for that info. Interestingly, a feature of most unzip programs is the ability to do automatic end of line conversions since there is no way for a cross-platform script file to have only one set of line ending across all platforms.
On my command line version of unzip this is done using the -a option.
So will you please try by grabbing the .zip again and unzipping it using the command line:
unzip -a Mobi_Unpack_v041.zip
and see if that same problem still happens. On my machine, unzip recognizes that python scripts are text files and converts the \r\n to just \n line endings automagically.
Please let me know what you find out.

So it has to be started with "python Mobi_Unpack.pyw" or loaded and saved with Unix style \n newlines.
I'll test this in more detail when I get my next mobi book.
