To avoid trouble with file paths and names, here's what I do:

I created a folder in my user root folder (the one that has my user name). I called this folder Tools, of course the name doesn't matter but it's better if it's short

I moved all the files I need in this folder: the python scripts, the adeptkey.der file, and I temorarily also move the ebook files that I want to decrypt to this same folder.

When I start the Terminal, it positions me in my root folder, so I only have to type the following to go to the Tools folder:

cd Tools

Then I type the command line. Since I am already in the folder where everything is, I don't need to type the file path, so it looks like this:

python ineptepub.py adeptkey.der booknamedrm.epub booknamenodrm.epub

Since I type everything manually, I often shorten the file name of the book too. I have copied the code line to a text file as a reminder, but in fact I almost never re-type it completely: in the Terminal, you can use the up arrow to recall the last few lines you typed and change them. It will even remember them from one session to the next, which is cool.

Hope this helps

Thanks Florence,
I tried your suggestion and was excited when I saw that there was some kind of output but when I tried to open it (in any reader) it seems to be corrupted. The output from the Terminal was:

~$ python aineptepub.py adeptkey.der bookdrm.epub booknodrm.epub
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any thoughts?
