Not installing on windows about pyre-check

[DanielCollins]

I have this on mac too with either of python3.5 or 3.6

Actually we rely on parts of Janestreet's Core library that are not portable to windows. Right now there's no plan to support windows :(

@DanielCollins: can you try with pip3.6 install pyre-check?

Fair enough, thanks !

HI @spapas thanks for the report.
At the moment we are not planning to publish on Pypi official binaries of Pyre for Windows, since we do not have enough bandwidth to support and test that platform.
However, we expect most of the code to work across all platforms, except maybe for filesystem-specific functions. You should be able to get to a good state by compiling the code on your machine.

@DanielCollins can you please open a separate Github issue for the Mac install? That platform should work, but tracking it here would confuse matters with the initial Windows request. Thanks.

If you need to use Pyre, you shouldn't be using Windows. (/s)

@LoganDark Your comment takes your dislike of Windows (perhaps highly justified - I have a long list of things about it that irritate me to no end) to a veiled personal attack on anyone who needs to work with a code base written for Windows. This is not helpful.

Perhaps we should be having a discussion about how to compile pyre-check for Windows...

[LoganDark]

@polsar88 hold on, calm down. did you miss my /s?

[polsar88]

No I didn't, but until very now I didn't know it meant sarcasm. A little rusty on the latest abbreviations. For that reason alone I suppose I shouldn't need to use pyre-check ;)

[LoganDark]

Note that Windows has an Ubuntu subsystem and I'm fairly sure Pyre can be compiled on there. Not cross-compiled for Windows, but you can do the checking using Ubuntu.

[polsar88]

Yes, I'm aware of WSL. Unfortunately, my code needs to run under native Windows. I've been playing with mypy today and it seems to work well, so that's what I'm going to use.

You can run your code under Windows. You can run Pyre under Linux.
