Presumable windows error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'resource'

pip install pout

import pout

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'resource'

resource is a Unix specific package according to this

• Windows 7 (Could very well be the issue)
• Python 3.8

Annoyingly, the official docs don't mention anywhere that the module isn't available on Windows.

I've done a quick patch that will just catch the ImportError and disable pout.m() on windows.

I'd like to figure out a better workaround but I don't currently have a working Windows computer, when I have some time I'll make a windows virtualbox (if possible) and do a more comprehensive fix/workaround.

I haven't pushed up to Pypi yet because I figured you might want to try it out, you can install it directly from Github:

pip install --upgrade "git+https://github.com/Jaymon/pout#egg=pout"

Let me know if it works for you and I'll push it up to Pypi.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention and submitting the issue.

Ah yeah you're right, it says it very subtly in the navigation: Documentation » The Python Standard Library » Unix Specific Services ».

Ok it seems to work now! No problem
