Hi,

You are right it is a bug. In kindleunpack.py, near the end of the file, you will see the following code block:

    argv=utf8_argv()
    progname = os.path.basename(argv[0])
    try:
        opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "hdrs")
    except getopt.GetoptError, err:
        print str(err)
        usage(progname)
        sys.exit(2)

    if len(args)<1:
        usage(progname)
        sys.exit(2)

    for o, a in opts:
        if o == "-d":
            DUMP = True
        if o == "-r":
            WRITE_RAW_DATA = True
        if o == "-s":
            SPLIT_COMBO_MOBIS = True
        if o == "-h":
            usage(progname)
            sys.exit(0)

    if len(args) > 1:
        infile, outdir = args
    else:
        infile = args[0]

Please change this line:

opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "hdrs")

To look like this and see if that fixes your issue?

opts, args = getopt.getopt(argv[1:], "hdrs")

So that it will get the utf-8 encoded command line and not the python broken internal sys.argv command line.

Hope this fixes the issue!

Thanks,

KevinH
