Is dispy testet with windows?

[rddaz2013]

It seems the (PID and IP6) features are not really working on windows env?

[pgiri]

IPv6 should work if netifaces module is installed. What is PID?

It is not clear what about PID is not working then.

It seems there may be another dispynode running or dispynode may have been terminated (killed). You can restart dispynode with "clean" option (e.g., as dispynode.py --clean).

dispynode is not able to recognize appropriate IP address to use. You can either indicate correct IP address with -i option, or install netifaces module.

I think the 'tempfile.tempdir' for the config file .. has a problem if it point to path you have no write access to.

https://github.com/pgiri/dispy/blob/master/py3/dispy/dispynode.py

Line 266 dest_path_prefix = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), 'dispy', 'node')

Linux it works Win7 it works Win10 tempfile.gettempdir() doesn't work .-(

[pgiri]

tempdir should be writable. May be you need to configure your system / Python appropriately?

You can also use dest_path_prefix option to dispynode to point to a path that is writable.

Thx

dest_path_prefix is a better way...

If the above works, can you comment and close this issue?
