Issues with using python-broadlink on Windows #761

Open zDEFz opened 1 year ago

zDEFz commented 1 year ago

I basically come from archlinux, and installed the package via the AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-broadlink

Then I can send as described broadlink_cli --device @BEDROOM.device --send @LG-TV.power

But when I go through the installation process, https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/blob/master/cli/README.md then I still cannot execute broadlink_cli. When I manually execute either downloaded script like in the manual, I seem to fail and get errors as well.

There must be something fundamentally flawed with my attempt to install it on Windows. Is there a specific python version requirement? Can there some steps added in the wiki to guide a bit more? Usually I do not have issues installing and using packages..
