Creating a "python3.5" symlink doesn't seem to be a thing ;) - Just about every tox.ini we have is full of unixisms - see for example nova/tox.ini's liberal use of bash scripts and find commands. - Virtualenv installs things differently on windows. In particular the venv has all the executables in $venv\Scripts\ rather than $venv/bin/. I quickly gave up on using tox, and was running the virtualenv and "pip install -r requirements.txt" steps by hand. The wheels (pun unintended) well and truly fell off once I hit my first C library dependencies (for me, yaml and netifaces pulled in by oslo.utils), and I was looking at having to set up a full C toolchain from scratch too. I didn't get far enough to try testr. Alessandro: I think the main blocker I've hit so far (other than "how do I cut+paste" ;) is installing the non-python library dependencies. Is there something I can do to steal your pre-built wheels (and dlls?), or use a pre-built distro like cygwin/msys2[1], or perhaps we should build a conda repository for openstack/windows like I did once for openstack/linux[2], or ...? [1] I didn't get an answer to my earlier question, I presume installing cygwin _is_ going to invalidate my hyper-v-suitability tests, right? I presume other "unix-like distros" like msys2 (mingw-based afaict) are similarly bad? [2] https://conda.anaconda.org/gus - It was a (mostly positive) experiment in trying something other than pip. I haven't maintained the repo, but it didn't take that long to package the transitive dependencies of nova. - Gus
