Any support planned for windows?

[beachwood23]

Is there support for windows planned? Perhaps this is something I could assist with.

Attempting run this python wrapper on windows (with iperf3 installed through chocolatey) results in a missing library. See the below error.

Python 3.6.4 (v3.6.4:d48eceb, Dec 19 2017, 06:54:40) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @rywhite, the release 0.1.10 just submitted to PyPi should allow you to manually set the iperf3 library client = iperf3.Client(lib_name='nameandpathtoiperf')

Let me know if this helps.

Looks doesn't work. any thing wrong?

client = iperf3.Client(lib_name="D:\SW_Tool\iperf3\iperf3.exe") Exception AttributeError: "'Client' object has no attribute '_stdout_fd'" in <bo und method Client.del of <iperf3.iperf3.Client object at 0x000000000259D390> ignored Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\iperf3\iperf3.py", line 414, in init super(Client, self).init(role='c', *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\iperf3\iperf3.py", line 110, in init lib_name OSError: Couldn't find shared library D:\SW_Tool\iperf3\iperf3.exe, is iperf3 in stalled?

Hi @rywhite @fanfajrin

I see you tried to provide a link to the iperf3.exe as lib_name but this is not the actual library interface. Check the following link for a proper explanation of why the iperf3-python wrapper does not work for windows at the moment: https://github.com/esnet/iperf/issues/514

@virtualtam has created a new repository using Cython to try and get around the issue on windows, perhaps this can help: https://github.com/virtualtam/iperf3-cython-wrapper.
