Pyflyby is not supported on windows? #79

Open BeBopping opened 4 years ago

BeBopping commented 4 years ago

I suspect that pyflyby is not supported in a windows environment based on the following reliance on pwd. Is that correct? Is it possible to support windows users down the line?

In [2]: import pyflyby

Yikes, no comment or progress in a year? If it's just an issue of wrapping a few imports in try/except, I can make a PR, but is there anyone actively maintaining this library? @scopatz ?

I tried just ignoring the import errors (specifically for packages pwd, tty, and os.uname ), but it seems that pyflyby doesn't work even then.

Thanks for asking for updates, we are doing our best but supporting windows, though is not straightforward. It is maintained (last commit is from 10 days ago), and currently bugfixes and working platforms are the main focus when possible.

Few of the devs and users uses windows, which unfortunately create a negative feedback loop, but we can look into making this a higher priority.

Especially now that an increasing number of Windows users are running python under WSL, I can see why it wouldn't be at the top of your list!

3 years later but still no progress on this issue? Windows users also need this useful tool! 🙏
