Windows compatibility

Hello,

I'm trying to run redun on my local machine with Windows 10 OS.

Running

python {path_to_anaconda_venv}\Scripts\redun run test.py main

gives me the error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is it expected ? Do you test against Windows OS ?

The fact that I had to trick and specify python .../redun to run the program and that no .exe file was created when pip install or conda install in the Scripts folder makes me wonder if Windows is supported at all, in which case it would be better to raise an error than letting the user try to make it.

Hi @paulduf thanks for posting this issue. Unfortunately, redun does not support windows at this time. We'll update our package's OS requirements to make the more explicit. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll give it a chance with a Windows Subsystem for Linux then. You can probably close this issue.
