Even after installing wheel, it won’t work:

@myselfhimself - Pinging as he made gmic-py

I apologize dear @Reptorian , gmic-py is not ready for windows… If you want a Windows version, lend me a windows PC and invite me for a week-end in a closed place with snacks, love and attention :-/ :slight_smile:

3

I actually do have a spare laptop with barebone install, remote connection will do, but I will let you know when I feel ready for that.

4

Looks like by tomorrow and so, I’m ready. Please hit me up via PM if you want to work on windows version.

5

This is a good idea

I need 1-2 weeks to settle (pastry diploma exam this week, offsite PHP development job) and give you a GO for remote windows laptop work over 1 week maybe.
