I am running on Windows 10 and getting the error below:

`ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

Hey @kevinbsc; unfortunately we don't have the personnel to support a Windows version right now.

That being said, it looks like the missing dependency (libmagic) is used by packages that we use in the next minor version. I've added TETHNE-127 to address this.
