Running scripts under Miniconda with Windows

[nicolan]

Trying to run a script when inside an Anaconda/Miniconda virtual environment on windows10, the script would refuse to run. This tweak made it behave. I'm not sure if there are other consequences to this inclusion though: it might break under some other virtual environment, or non-virtual environment.

Hmm, can you try to run it on Windows but not under Anaconda? I would like to fix the Anaconda issue but I'd hate to inadvertently break Windows completely.

It works under vanilla Windows (and is necessary to make script invocation work). (Phew! 😅)

Great, thank you!

Please can this fix get released. It's very confusing for Windows users trying to use this after doing pip install ...

[skorokithakis]

You're right, released 0.9.2. Please let me know if it works!

[alecthegeek]

That seems to work fine. Thanks

[skorokithakis]

Thanks!

Thanks for accepting and merging this! We've just unleashed 200 electronic badges on the world as part of linux conf au and told all the windows users to use mpfshell to manage their micropython on their esp32 boards. Appreciate the work y'all do keeping utilities like this up to date and open!

@nicolan thanks! I'd encourage you to join Code Shelter, as we're maintaining this project as part of that, and we'd appreciate any help, or a mention at the conference.

The conference is over, but I put a shout out on our badge twitter and I'll update our wiki to mention code shelter. Thanks again!

Thanks!
