This isn't as old a post as I originally thought. I'll continue my conversation here, if you don't mind.
I would get a message saying edict is already downloaded, but it still wouldn't be installed. After taking your advice, it closes even quicker now. Am I supposed to switch this:
if sknetio.getfile(url, path, flush=False, gzip=True):
ok = skfileio.filesize(path) > minsize
With this?:
if sknetio.getfile(url, path, flush=False, gzip=False):
u_var = raw_input("unzip then enter any text and press enter")
ok = skfileio.filesize(path) > minsize
-Edit-
Opened it up and edited it in IDLE and now, I get to the prompt asking me to enter text and press enter, so I hit space and press enter. still not installed.
