pyCue, pyOutline - Win10 python 2.7 requirements

[randomgenerator2019]

Hi Team ,

Firstly thank you for Opensourcing this !!

I noticed you had a ticket for testing RDQ in windows...

I thought i might update this with some discoveries while trying build for win10 python2.7
in windows the python requirement of PySide2==5.11.2 does not appear to exist

So with that in mind PySide2==5.12 was used for the below results.

However I still find after a successful build of both pyCue and PyOutline I run into import issues

(venv) E:\gitHub\OpenCue\pyoutline>python
ActivePython 2.7.14.2717 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.7.14 (default, Dec 15 2017, 16:31:45) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import opencue
Traceback (most recent call last):

from google.protobuf.pyext._message import RepeatedCompositeContainer
ImportError: No module named _message

The broader question : should I attempt a windows build ?

When I deployed rqd to windows it was a small number of machines for use by Flix, but it was using Ice for RPC back then. It looks like the porting to protobuf may need some changes for windows support. Also its possible that pyoutline was not used on windows at the time.

Thank you for the quick response !

Sorry my explanation of the issue may have been unclear.
I was attempting to build pyCue and pyOutline for windows.
Using the instructions @ https://github.com/imageworks/OpenCue/wiki/Installing-PyCue-and-PyOutline

[JohnWelborn]

I don't think anyone has it running on windows yet and it will require some porting which may just be the issues found in #61

FYI pycue and pyoutline now support Python3 so this shouldn't be an issue anymore.
