Windows Issue with Tutorial: No module named 'fcntl'

[nickfranciose]

Hello metaflow,

I am interested in learning about the metaflow offering but am hitting a snag in the very first tutorial:

λ python 00-helloworld/helloworld.py show
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "00-helloworld/helloworld.py", line 1, in
from metaflow import FlowSpec, step
File "C:\Users\Nick.Franciose\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\metaflow_init_.py", line 45, in
from .event_logger import EventLogger
File "C:\Users\Nick.Franciose\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\metaflow\event_logger.py", line 1, in
from .sidecar import SidecarSubProcess
File "C:\Users\Nick.Franciose\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\metaflow\sidecar.py", line 4, in
import fcntl
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fcntl'

Stackoverflow suggests fcntl is a linux specific. Is this offering windows compatible? If so, do you have a workaround?

Best,
NIck

Let me know if I can close this issue once the workaround in #10 works for you.

Yes, using WSL solves the issue. Thanks.
