Support for Windows

Hi there,

Interesting tool! If Windows support were added, I would use it on the regular.

When I install via pip install slackclipper, I run into the following error. Based on the README, it seems like this is expected.

Thanks for your interest. It certainly would make it accessible to more people.

Alas, as you point out, this is known shortcoming due to slacktokens' dependency on leveldb, which is not well supported on Windows.

So I see two paths to resolution:

1. Remove the dependency and extract the Slack token some other way, or
2. Improve leveldb. That appears to be a long on-going saga.

Since slacktokens was the giant whose shoulders gave slackclipper life, I'm not super motivated to explore alternatives. But it's certainly doable and I'd gratefully receive contributions!
