Windows compatibility

[hadim]

While trying to package psearch on conda forge (see https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/14110), the lib failed to install on windows with the following error:

This ticket is just to let you know if you want to fix that.

On my side, I will just disable windows for the conda forge package.

I also don't really need it on windows so it's really up to you whether you want to fix it or not. Otherwise, feel free to close.

Thank you reporting the issue. I checked and replaced all accidentally occurred cyrillic characters in the code. Hope this will fix the issue. Check it please.

[hadim]

I can't really test it since I don't work on a windows machine (the error comes from the CI of conda forge). Next release will automatically bump a new build on the conda forge package.

[DrrDom]

OK. Then I'll close the issue. Thank you!

[hadim]

Pretty sure the cyrillic chars were the issue anyway. Will keep you in touch for the next release.
