@philippedistributive @Xmader @caleb-distributive , here is the repro: https://github.com/Distributive-Network/pythonmonkey-examples/tree/main/require-npm-package-from-py <-- give it a shot on Windows

This is likely a bug in the npm ctx-module package. I'm going to need to get access to a Windows box to debug this properly. Anybody have one I can SSH into? :)

This is most likely issue #292
