it should work in theory, except for the paths of config files, and how focus.py knows about the other nameservers to fail over to (which is gotten on linux by scraping /etc/resolv.conf)

Yes, windows support, please!

@edwinyzh cool, I'll give it a shot :)

I'm a noob at windows development, so if you (or anyone reading this) has any answers to following, that would help me out a lot:

  • Where's the best place to put config files? (Do I need to edit the registry or something?)
  • I thought I had more than one question

  • Can you store the configuration files in the same folder as focus.py? Don't mess with the Windows registry, it's a bad OS design IMHO :)
  • I thought you had more than one question :)

You can run "ipconfig /all", but it prints all your network interfaces and I am not sure how to chose the right one.
