Have you simply tried running via the GUI by running python on KindleUnpack.pyw. The gui spools the stdout to a scroll text pane.

Thanks,

Sorry, my dry sense of humor in the 'crash' remark didn't carry through.

Here is the error using Python.org v3.4.3:

The gui version works fine via command-line startup as well as via mouse-click.
