Thanks.

Mobi_Unpack.pyw does not run natively in Linux (when trying to start it directly) because it uses DOS style \r\n line terminators, so it keeps looking for a "/usr/bin/python\r" which naturally does not exist. 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.
