Forgive me as I'm not a programmer.  I don't know what else I can do
to debug this issue.

If you guys have any tips, just let me know what else I can try.

I tried using pdb, and here's the output:

ln-liquidnets-macbook-pro-3:~ jliu$ ./pyzim
> /Users/jliu/pyzim(19)<module>()
-> zim.main(sys.argv)
(Pdb) n
AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'"
> /Users/jliu/pyzim(19)<module>()
-> zim.main(sys.argv)
(Pdb) l
 14             sys.exit(1)

 17     try:
 18             pdb.set_trace()
 19  ->         zim.main(sys.argv)
 20     except zim.GetoptError, err:
 21             print >>sys.stderr, sys.argv[0]+':', err
 22             sys.exit(1)
 23     except zim.UsageError, err:
 24             print >>sys.stderr, zim.usagehelp.replace('zim', sys.argv[0])
(Pdb) q
