[Windows] Installing pyq does not generate binary

[jmitek]

I have been able to run the pip installer for pyq, I can see it ran the build using MVC tools, but then there is no command line exe to start. It onlyt generates a pyq.dll which i assume would allow my to use python inside the q terminal, but I need the opposite.

Doco refers to running "pyq" from the shell but there is no such exe.

Steps to reproduce the issue

run "pip install pyq"

Expected result

Would expected to see a pyq.exe created (( assume, but documentation does not mentioned). It just says run "pyq" but no such file exists. However I can see a pyq.dll generated in my venv.

Actual result

No pyq.exe i can see all the build output when running in verbose and all looks okay.

Workaround

If you know workaround, please provide it here.

I found you need to run : c:\q\w32\q.exe python.q on windows.
