I just looked through the code for PyGlossary, and it's not going to output correctly for anything but the simplest dictionaries. It also doesn't support images, multiple definitions, multiple headwords, cyrillic words, maybe not accented words, and words with numbers/spaces/symbols.
If there's enough interest, though, I might make a dictfile output for PyGlossary, which can then be used with dictutil.

Decompile and compile with dictutil worked also. (Btw, are there any recommended parameters for compile/recompile of Penelope dictionaries? While I was testing, I just used drag and drop. I suppose that my old conversions would benefit from a dictutil pass-through, so if it's simple enough I might just go through them all.)

Yes, it's pretty simple. In 99% of cases, you just need to do `dictzip-decompile whatever.zip`, then `dictgen whatever.df`. You'll also be able to edit and merge the dictfiles (remember that duplicate entries are fine).
