A student in the department (complete newbie to popgen and simulations) has a Windows laptop and wants to run some simple coalescent simulations. This should hopefully unlock the option to run Python-based msprime simulations in slendr.
Running SLiM in slendr requires working with the OS command-line and slendr currently does it using unix terminal under the hood. Porting this to Windows will be more work (it's been > 10 years since I touched
cmd.exe
on a Windows machine), but at least the Windows Python/msprime port should be relatively straightforward, so let's focus on that here.
