Command-line tool needs extension? #51

Open treatmesubj opened 4 years ago

pip install importlab

Expected to use the importlab command-line tool on Windows but:

'importlab' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I saw importlab was in fact sitting in C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts, but I guess it wouldn't do anything without an extension, so I just renamed it to runimportlab.py to avoid circular reference and works fine.

runimportlab.py --tree script.py

I don't think we test on Windows, so no surprise importlab doesn't work. If you're using Windows 10, you might be able to get around this using WSL. The "Requirements" and "Installing" sections of the README for pytype (a project that uses importlab for which users have contributed some bare-bones WSL installation instructions) might be helpful: https://github.com/google/pytype#requirements.
