Kanagen 0.0.2: Japanese kana generator for Mac, Linux, and Windows

Kanagen 0.0.2 is now out and works under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), many Linux/BSD variants, as well as Windows XP/Vista. Simply download the ZIP file below and follow the instructions in the README.txt to get started! If you are unfamiliar with Kanagen, its a program I wrote to help study Japanese characters. It generates random strings of hiragana, katakana, and romaji so that you can learn the syllabaries and also practice writing characters.

Mirror 2: http://www.filefactory.com/file/a019agh/n/kanagen-0_0_2_zip
Changelog:
- Cleaned up code so its easier to read and maintain
- English-localized strings separated into a new module for easier localization
- Clear screen routine now works on Windows (not much else works in Windows, though)

Hi, and thanks for taking the time to try Kanagen! I believe it will work if you delete the jachars.pyc file. Please let me know if that solves the problem. Thanks,
Jesse

I discovered the problem. It appears that the file I uploaded to Mirror 1 had byte-compiled code (platform/computer specific) when it should have included all the source code.
I re-uploaded the correct version to Mirror 1 (Mirror 2 already had the correct file), so it should work if you download it again. My apologies for the mistake!
