TypeError: '_io.TextIOWrapper' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

[Federico Kircheis]

On Windows 10, x64, Python 3.10.0 (downloaded from official python website, not from the store or cygwin version) and install iniparse with pip.

Download https://github.com/pixelb/crudini/releases/download/0.9.3/crudini-0.9.3.tar.gz and extract

Sanity check: python crudini --version reports crudini 0.9.3

Create file.ini with content

[section1]
        param1 = value1

(not: empty file is fine too)

python crudini --get file.ini section1 parameter1

or

python crudini --set file.ini section parameter value

Error does not depend on shell (reproducible from cmd, powershell, git-bash, ...).

I noticed only afterwards that #68, #26 and #35 already reports that crudini on Windows does not work.

A workaround is to remove the lock logic, everything seems otherwise to work fine.
Maybe it could be a short-term solution for supporting windows out-of-the-box?

Otherwise consider what I've written in #86, it might also be a long-term solution.

For the record, it is possible to reproduce the issue on GNU/Linux thanks to wine:

• install wine with package manager (I've used wine-5.0.3 (Debian 5.0.3-3))
• download python 3.10 from official python website
• use winecfg to set the windows version to "Windows 10" (latest python version supports only Windows >=8)
• wine python-3.10.0-amd64.exeto install python (for simplicity add it to the PATH during installation, not necessary)
• wine python.exe -m pip install iniparse
• download https://github.com/pixelb/crudini/releases/download/0.9.3/crudini-0.9.3.tar.gz and extract

wine python.exe Downloads/crudini-0.9.3/crudini --set file.ini section parameter value

Oh the wine suggestion is excellent, thanks!
