Description
While "I get it"...I really don't get why this still doesn't even have BASIC Windows support.
It is published by Microsoft, right?
Compiling from source on windoze doesn't actually seem to generate a .whl file so it could be re-distributed or something.
Pulling from PIP throws any number of errors, from ADAM not being supported because it requires 'lscpu', or just failing because libaio.so can't be found.
Meaning, that for the past several years, this M$-produced piece of software is mostly useless on the OS they create.
This is one of the most annoying things about Python in general. "It's soooo cross-platform". Until you need a specific library, and realize it was really only ever developed for Linux users until someone threw a slug in the readme about how it MIGHT work with windows, but only if you do a hundred backflips while wearing a blue robe and sacrifice a chicken to Cthulhu.
Python does still support releasing different packages for different operating systems, right?
If that's still true, then it would be fantastic if someone out there could release a proper .whl to pypi for us second-class Windoze users. I really don't feel like spending the next several hours trying to upgrade my instance of WSL2 to the right version that won't lose it's mind if I try to use a specific amount of RAM...
