I also need help with converting a mobi dictionary (kindle format) to stardict format --if that is at all really possible...

I am pretty much unfamiliar with coding work and unsurprisingly I cannot make penelope work...

Downloaded the package and in Terminal (OSX 10.9), the following command works: python -m penelope.

But that's it

(Tried to install dictzip but failed there: sudo apt-get "command not found" Probably the link I found didn't lead to the right dictzip package... Where does one find the "dictzip executable" the manual refers to?)

If someone has time to write some quick instructions for 10.9, I would be really grateful.


(If relevant: my "ultimate purpose" is to then convert the stardict dictionary to Apple dictionary format with Dictunifier to use multiple Kindle dictionaries on the Desktop)
