I went as far as to set this up on a remote server. It went fine. I exported the passpie.db as well as ~/.passpie and moved them to my local PC and get this error:

However, if I simply exec passpie I can view what's in the database:

Looks like there is a bug in tempfile.mkdtemp(). A user experienced it here, too and this is the fix. (to remove the need for temp files).

I forked the repository in an attempt to fix this myself, but I know nothing of Python. I was able to get past the permission error by using a different method that wasn't using tempfiles:

λ passpie init

That is actually a great fix, Thanks for that, I will look into adding this to the mainstream code.

Any update on this? Just tried a fresh install of Passpie and it still seems to be utterly broken for Windows.

[marcwebbie]

Hello @zQueal passpie is now working on windows. you can try installing HEAD version on your windows machine and tell me what do you have.

pip install --upgrade https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/tarball/master

Tested on windows 10 with default command prompt.

[zQueal]

Awesome! Totally worth the wait. Thanks for taking the time. I've tested this and it seems to be almost feature complete. Some new bugs, but I'll make new tickets.

Thanks!
