I'm writing a batch file to automatically strip the DRM from all azw files on my Kindle. Now, it appears to work as intended at first glance, but the problem is that MobiDeDRM creates the output file BEFORE checking for errors. Basically, my input and output are the same (books on my Kindle), and if an error occurs, it ends up clearing my book to a 0kb file!

Now, I'm no python scripter, but it seems relatively easy to fix. I want to continue using the same input/output file, how do I go about modifying MobiDeDRM (using v.0.09) to check for errors before creating the output file, I'm getting tired of having my books wiped if something goes wrong with the script.
