parser script not working on Windows

[jerabaul29]

From user feedback:

" AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'tzset'. "

This is a windows vs. linux compatibility issue:

See [the docs](http://docs.python.org/library/time.html?highlight=tzset#time.tzset) for tzset: they clearly say

    Availability: Unix.

so you would have it in, say, MacOSX, Solaris, or Linux, but not on Windows.

To run the decoder, use either a linux system, or run on windows through the WSL - windows subsystem for linux.

I do not have access to a Windows machine, and I will only provide support for linux myself (specifically, Ubuntu distros, 20.04 or newer).

For WSL, see for example https://pbpython.com/wsl-python.html and similar. Using Ubuntu OS in WSL you should be able to reproduce the exact same kind of environment I use, and things should work.

Also possible to use an Ubuntu Virtualbox.

Bit late, but you can just remove 'tzset' in windows, then run script through Spyder or equivalent, works for me...

Thanks for the update @jvoermans . Be careful / be aware though that, if you do not use the tzset, you may have bad surprises about which time zone python may choose for you / be using under the hood... That may result easily in some "corruption" of timestamps by shifting the time value by a few hours when converting stuff back and forth later in your scripts. I think a better option would be that you find how to set up the time zone to utc on windows and continue using tzset, but with a windows compatible backend :) .
