Real-life consequences (anything community should be aware, for instance how it affects your deployment)
Initially, the Windows installer didn't install with Python 3.6.5. I googled but the only related thing was a yaml library dependency breaks the installer #3633
Thanks for your help on how to go about this.
@engrsmukhtar I recommend you use the KA Lite Windows installer when installing KA Lite at Windows.
KA Lite isn't compatible with Python 3. You need to use Python 2.7 to install it from pip
