Windows Compatibility

[saadmanrafat]

I was wondering if this could be extended to work on Windows.

[alichtman]

Yeah, this isn't limited to just macOS, but it would require a bunch of refactoring and testing that just isn't a priority of mine since I don't use Windows. I'm definitely open to a PR, though.

Implementation Plan

• Use os.path.join obsessively, for all paths

Is this it?

[saadmanrafat]

Yes but another issue is inquirer, which doesn't work on Windows. Other viable choices are prompt_toolkit and Pyinquirer. Each has it's pros and cons. But using any one of them could lead to losing some features the repo already supports like the List prompt.

[alichtman]

One possibility is forking this project and maintaining a Windows version separately. I don't have the bandwidth to manage that, but I'd be open to someone else maintaining it.

[alichtman]

Another possibility is try / except importing inquirer and if that fails, import some other library that's Windows compatible. This is probably the best solution, as it would avoid forking the project. I still don't use Windows, though, so I won't be fixing this.

[saadmanrafat]

try except might work. I'll look into it.
