Windows compatibility

[MartinThoma]

Check if hwrt works on Windows machines. What are the exact error messages?

Hello, Martin
I just met your hwrtool
I work on my notebook
I have 8GB RAM.
I started getting some errors.
I wish to work on the project with you as much as I am able.
During download.py execution I got MemoryError when calling is_file_consistent()
The file would need to be read in chunks in my opinion.

Hello Iskren,

Thanks for your feedback!

Could you please paste the error message? I don't use Windows, so testing is a bit difficult for me.

[thesunlover]

Of course, sure.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hwrt\download.py", line 58, in
main()
File "hwrt\download.py", line 43, in main
while not is_file_consistent(local_path_file, dataset['md5']) and i < 3:
File "hwrt\download.py", line 21, in is_file_consistent
hashlib.md5(open(local_path_file, 'rb').read()).hexdigest() == md5_hash
MemoryError

Thank you :-)

I guess the solution is http://stackoverflow.com/a/1131238/562769
I'll try that tomorrow (I can get access to windows computers at university).

[thesunlover]

:) YES

just a note:

this one is better
i can apply it and make a pull request (PR) for you, if you dont mind, because I saw this is your Phd project

[MartinThoma]

Oh, no, this is not my PhD project. It was a project for my bachelors thesis and I will continue working on it in my masters thesis. Feel free to add the pull request.

can we add somewhere in the documentation that there are already some precompiled libs here:

clarification on previous message

h5py Cythoning has some problems

[retsyo]

yes, I met the problem stated by thesunlover

[MartinThoma]

I can confirm, but sadly don't have the time to fix this. This is the reason why I put it on INACTIVE (to be honest, I also forgot this PR)
