Windows OS implementation
Created by: anthonydb
Here's an opportunity perhaps for some testing and/or documentation.
Although I installed and used csvkit easily under Ubuntu, I am having difficulty achieving similar ease of use under Windows 7. This may well be user-noobishness, but it would be great if I could work the same way under both OSes.
Under Win7 / Python 2.7.1:
-- I installed csvkit 0.2.6 using pip.
-- csvkit-0.2.6-py2.7-egg-info folder and csvkit folder both created in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
-- Various scripts created in C:\Python27\Scripts\ (csvcut, etc.)
-- Dependencies also installed.
In Ubuntu command line, I can execute: $ csvcut -n myfile.csv
At the Windows command line, similar does not work. To execute one of the scripts, I have to invoke Python and specify the full script path:
C:> python c:\Python27\Scripts\csvcut -n myfile.csv
And I do have my Python path, along with the Scripts path and the site-packages path, in my Windows Path environment variable: C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages;
Obviously, I'd prefer to simply type "C:>csvcut -n myfile.csv" in Windows.
Getting this nailed down will help open this great tool up to many more users. And it is really awesome.
