Need a Windows version

[techtonik]

I need to work with https://rtfd.org/ code on Windows and hiredis is a single library that fails to install. Is it possible to review and merge redis/hiredis#52 (maybe even partially) so that a wheel for Windows become possible?

[regner]

Windows support would be very much welcomed. There are a few projects that I am forced to use a remote interpreter for because of just this package not building on windows.

So in theory hiredis-py should work on Windows, we even got CI coverage for that.
But because I have no Windows machine and no idea of development on Windows I can't verify whether it works correctly. I rely solely on user input for this.

[regner]

My apologies, the package I was using was pointing to an outdated version of hiredis. The newer versions definitely work on Windows.

[badboy]

Thanks for confirming!

Hi, could you please tell me which the hiredis-py version work on windows?

[badboy]

I can not install the lastest version (0.2.0) on a windows machine.

Hi what is the error you're getting? I don't have a windows machine but it might provide a clue
