Add support for Windows (WSL is already supported)

[samj1912]

With #36 and cruft 2.0 we officially dropped support for Windows. See #39 for the reasoning behind this change.

Creating this issue to track interest for adding back Windows support and to discuss how to implement the same.

1st: cruft: Great tool!

I managed some of the WIN problems get to work here: #85

Just wanted to note that I'll be testing @juhuebner implementation for windows in the following days.

The fork that I'm working from is in here.
It has @juhuebner updates + a merge from the current cruft state.

ATM it seems to work perfectly. I'll update if any issues pop up.

[jonzarecki]

Added a new PR with a continuation of @juhuebner's work from #85 in #125.

Seems to be working fine for my team for the last 2 weeks, and the changes he made seem reasonable.

I tried setting up Cruft v2.9.0 in Ubuntu WSL and then run cruft update command. But it still fails with below error.
Python v 3.8.10

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Can you post the entire trace?
Are you able to run a normal cookiecutter create? (Without cruft)

Hi @jonzarecki, please find below entire trace:

Weird, I don't see, however cruft in the trace, did you try to just use cookiecutter create?

[samj1912]

Closed in #125

[sharadpattanshetti]

@jonzarecki yes used cookiecutter create but still get above error. Tried it with cruft v2.10.1 as well.
Python 3.8.10
Is there any specific python to be used?

[jonzarecki]

Not that I'm aware. Can you give us the steps to reproduce the error from scratch?
