dicius is a free online language dicionaries and Pycabulary offer a confortable interface to it. Actually Pycabulary is, at the moment, three different interfaces for the same service, a command line interface, GTK one and a Tkinter one, chooce what the best is for you.

At the moment only english/italian and italian/english vocabularies are implemented.

Developer comments
I did not tried it on Windows but at least a double click on the executable should be enough to run the Tkinter version. Also the .egg file should be executable, or eggsecutable, try a double click on it.
