Skyrim Alchulator (Windows 8)

Description

You may have already seen my Linux screenshot of the Skyrim Alchulator. There, I mentioned that I was trying to port the thing to windows.

Well, after much struggling with python to executable converters, WINE, and countless other methods, I bit the bullet and installed python on my windows machine, and began the arduous process of altering the code to suit its new environment.
I had to change all the file paths, resave the file with windows line-endings, haul it over to windows, and struggle with getting python to work. Finally, the program ran, and I discovered that my precious, beautiful GUI didn't quite survive the transition intact. So I opened the file in notepad and began hacking away at the code, altering various things to get the layout to look good in its new home.
Finally, I got something I was happy with, although the Linux version was still prettier, because that's where it was designed.

But it's here. It works! It looks decent!
And I have converted it into a .EXE with a professional-looking icon, to boot!
(Download the EXE and all required files here! Just unzip and run the executable. Please note that you'll need to press enter after changing the text in the Fortify Alchemy box, or it won't update. I also recommend against searching for only one, common effect, like Damage Health. It can cause serious lag because there are thousands of potions for that effect.)



Linux to Windows ports. Never again.

Could have just used .NET. Python is a nightmare and needs to just die in a hole, no offense to you though.
