I'm getting errors unpacking a KF8/MOBI I built with Huffdic compression using the new Kindlegen 2.3(36043). I'm using the most recent mobi_unpack (from this post).

    raise unpackException('invalid huff header')
NameError: global name 'unpackException' is not defined

Besides the fact that the unpackException class doesn't exist for error handling... mobi_unpack appears to think the huff header is invalid. The mobi otherwise performs as expected with Kindle previewer (simulating Kindle Fire) and a standalone Kindle 2.

That's the second time through on the KF8 MobiHeader parse, when trying to build the Huffdic reader for the KF8 portions. It looks like the huff header for the KF8 portions is either different or in a different location.

I'm looking, but I thought I'd let someone else know as well.
