yomi2tab problem

[EmperorLicht]

Describe the bug
I wanted to convert my existing jmdict_german dictionary to a Kindle compatible file. But I just get syntax errors. IDK why this is happening. Additional, even if it would work, I wasn't really able to find a kindlegen setup or which version I need at least and Amazon doesn't offer it as a download any more.

To ReproduceD
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run py -3.11.2 yomi2tab.py -o mydict.tab "C:\Users\jbble\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\yomi_output" on python
2. See error.

Expected behavior
I thought it would convert my JSON files into Tab files so that I can forward with the whole process.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11

Thank you for providing the details about the issue you're experiencing. It appears that the "py -3" command is being executed from within the Python interpreter rather than the Windows command prompt. To resolve this, please follow these steps:

1. Open a Windows command prompt by pressing Win+R, typing "cmd" into the text field, and clicking "Run."
2. Use the "cd" command to navigate to the folder containing your files.
3. Run the script by entering the following command: py -3 yomi2tab.py -o mydict.tab "C:\Users\jbble\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\yomi_output" (the -3 part might not be needed depending on how you installed python)

Regarding the kindlegen issue, it seems that Amazon has replaced it with Kindle Previewer. I recommend using Kindle Previewer instead, and I will update the repository with this information when time permits.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer. Unfortunately, some other errors occurred in PowerShell and cmd as I tried in both. It says that pandas is missing, but it's already installed according to anaconda. Also, I looked in the Wikihow and wanted to ask if I should do step 3 “Adding Python to the PATH List” or if this is not necessary.
