Windows throws an error when using mkdir #40

@liwoe

Description

@liwoe

When running and the agent_folder was created using mkdir in Windows: An error from module "_bootstrap" occures because it can't import the folder where the init file is (multi_tool_agent in my case)
(maybe _bootstrap issue and not adk so change of docs would be useful, especially as issue is in quickstart)

SyntaxError: source code string cannot contain null bytes

To Reproduce

  1. Go to Quickstart and follow instruction and use mkdir in Windows
  2. Run using any run method in Quickstart
  3. When running with adk web write to the client / when using in terminal error occures directly
  4. Then error occures

Expected behavior

Should run normally, also the error message is not very helpful either, users dont really know what the issue is

Versions

  • OS: [Windows]
  • ADK version: latest
  • Python version: 3.13.3

Suggestion

Change of docs for windows users until issue is resolved
