Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com) handles Mobi->ePub conver= sions.
Its primary purpose is to create and maintain an eBook database, but
it converts between supported formats. Calibre is written in Python,
and cross-platform, available for Windows, Linux, and OS/X.

I haven't tried it, but I believe the conversion can be done from the command line, calling the conversion module directly instead of going
through the GUI.

(I've converted files I got in Mobi format to ePub without issue.)
