Doesn't work on Windows

Open louis925 opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

It seems like the 'pynisher' use the 'resource' library which only exists on UNIX system so it doesn't work on Windows. Is it possible to change this to support Windows system?

In principle, that would be possible, but it would require major extentions to the pynisher to include the same functionality on Windows. At this point, we have no plans to do that, sorry. If you want to use it under Windows, you could run it inside a virtual machine.

There might be a need to run python code under windows, such that it can not be run in a Linux VM. IS there a plan to support this in Windows ?

Ha, I completely forgot why I was looking at this package 2 years ago :D

Just incase you're still interested or want another 2 year anniversary on this issue, the automl group has a version of Pynisher which I've extended to work on Windows. The PR should hopefully come soon. We want to make our tools more compatible on cross-platform and this is a major dependency for our bigger tools.
