yomi2tab problem
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:
- Run py -3.11.2 yomi2tab.py -o mydict.tab "C:\Users\jbble\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\yomi_output" on python
- 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):

Additional context /
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:
- Open a Windows command prompt by pressing Win+R, typing "cmd" into the text field, and clicking "Run."
- Use the "cd" command to navigate to the folder containing your files.
- 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. You can download Kindle Previewer here: https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previewer/b?node=21381691011
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.
