I looked at it real quick.  You need to use os.path.join for your file
paths.  You also need to use sys.platform for windows specific
processing.  For example:

if sys.platform == 'Win32':
   FS_ROOT = 'C:'
else:
   FS_ROOT = '/'

WORDNETPATH=os.path.join( FS_ROOT, 'WordNet', '2.1', 'dict' )

So on and so on.  You wrote it very MSWin centric so it is not a
surprise it has trouble of on other platforms.  All of your file
references need to be adjusted as above using os.path.join.

Keep in mind I only looked at it real quick.  Those appear to be the
cross platform deal killers.  Short of something I missed (could
have), it should work find on most any other platform once you take
out the Windows-isms.
