Hi,

I discovered your script many months ago. But never managed to use it.

I never took the time to ask you for help before.



I'd like to convert en english-french dictionnary to use it on my Cybook Odyssey HD Frontlight.

I don't know anything about Python. I'm just a random user of this device who wanna be able to read english books without having to open a paper dictionnary or Google translate every other page.

Since I'm a total noob in Python, I'm gonna describe precisely step by step what I tried, to let you know where I could be wrong, hoping you or someone else can help me.

So I installed python 2.7.5. It's at the root of the C: drive of the (windows 8 64 bits) PC.

I downloaded Penelope 1.19 (put the folder in a random location, does it matter ?) and added empty.idx in the same folder.

As well as the english-french dictionnary found on this page

http://abloz.com/huzheng/stardict-dic/freedict.de/? , that gives me 3 files called :
dictd_www.freedict.de_eng-fra.dict.dz
dictd_www.freedict.de_eng-fra.idx
dictd_www.freedict.de_eng-fra.ifo

Then I followed that help page : http://wiki.penelope-dictionary-conv...onversion.wiki

So I opened python.exe. And typed exactly : <code language="python">$ python penelope.py -p dictd_www.freedict.de_eng-fra -f en -t en</code>

And that gives me that error message : no Python documentation found for '<code language=python>$ python penelope.py -p
dictd_www.freedict.de_eng-fra -f en -t en</code>'

What should I do to make it work please ?
