How to run pip installed CQ-Editor in windows? #10

Hi, sorry for stupid question, but how to run cq-editor in windows when it's installed as described from pip. Tried several things - directly from powershell, cmd, python, all pathes including installation path... best try was stepping into installation path and typing python editor.py, got an error ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Thanks for help.

When there is no double-click-exe windows users are lost ;-

What I have started to use most often is python -m cq_editor which should launch CQ-editor as long as you are in the right environment.

Don't feel bad as when you pip install into a conda environment on windows it creates an executable, for some reason that executable is broken in windows and I haven't been able to figure out why.
