Is it possible to run udocker in Windows (not in wsl) #420

I tried to install udocker directly under Windows. It couldn't run because pwd is a UNIX-only module. I'm curious if this dependency can be replaced so that it will be compatible with Windows.

udocker is Linux specific, even if the Python dependencies are removed it will not be possible to execute containers natively in Windows. The binaries (both the Linux applications in the containers and the engines to execute the containers) require an underlying Linux environment at least a Linux kernel or compatible ABI (WSL).
