Here is my (hopefully) better script:
This time I would prefer actual advice and tips on what I can change/improve, instead of the shitfest that occured yesterday. I am new to programming in general so I would appreciate being taught instead of being ridiculed.
Edit: this isn't meant to replace the better python script that already exists, rather this is more for power users who want more customization and want to test with games that aren't already supported.
That and I made mine install files from SD instead of uploading them from PC, saving time for the meta files (except meta.xml, which will be downloaded, edited given user input, then upload back to the Wii U)
Edit2: updated code to include comments that explain what each sections is doing.
