With KindleUnpack v0.75, I could run KindleUnpack.py from the command line from any path (I used to create a symlink of kindleunpack.py and place it in my path).

With v0.80, I need to first have cd'd into KindleUnpack's lib folder and run it from there, like ./kindleunpack.py. Trying to run it from another path by calling kindleunpack.py with its full path (relative or absolute makes no difference) or by calling a symlink to kindleunpack.py that resides in my path, I get:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/XXXX/bin/KindleUnpack/lib/kindleunpack.py", line 13, in <module>
    from .compatibility_utils import PY2, binary_type, utf8_str, unicode_str
ImportError: No module named compatibility_utils

Is this not the intended way to run it?

The python version in my path is 2.7.9, installed with Homebrew on Mac OS 10.10.3.
