os.fork() not supported on windows

Question

os.fork() not supported on windows

titusz opened this issue 10 years ago · comments

Installation and init works on Windows. Taking a snapshot fails with:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'fork'

On pypi the package is listed with 'Platform: any" but os.fork is not supported on windows.
I would be great if stellar would not depend on os.fork. Else it should be documented that windows is not supported.

Thanks for reporting this issue. It seems like we forgot to add fallback for failing/missing fork, but this should be easy to implement. I will look into this as soon as I have some free time.
