Description

Something that would be great to add to Scribe-Data is some more documentation for Windows commands beneath their Linux/Mac counterparts in the readme and contributing guide as well as converting some of the path functionality of the codebase over to allow for Windows paths to be accessed.

• Note that this should be worked on after Simplify Module Imports by Avoiding Modification of sys.path #122 :)

Contribution

Happy to support on this as needed! 😊

So the first problem I faced while installing Scribe-data was installing PyICU. It has different installation process for Windows - https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/blob/master/doc/pyicu.md#installation-on-windows
