invoke fails on windows

[bonfirefan]

invoke runtests
You indicated pty=True, but your platform doesn't support the 'pty' module!

Unfortunately pseudo terminal handling is not available for Windows, and the pty=true flag prevents you from invoking runtests. Most people are probably not doing the frustrating thing of trying to run things in Windows like I am, but just case, I know one solution mentioned was to put in an os check.

I looked around a bit and you should be able to do something like:

import sys
# ...
pty = sys.platform != 'win32'
run('pytest', pty=pty)

I'm also wondering whether or not to file something against invoke ... I feel like it should warn and skip the pseudo terminal rather than bailing out, but I can see the case for how it works now.

I ran into similar/other issues with using windows directly. It may or may not be worth it to stub out an issue regarding Windows support/issues?

@bonfirefan were you able to get up and running? Alternative, if you're familiar with using Docker I recently added a Dockerfile that you could use to run on Windows instead

[bonfirefan]

Hey there! I would love to test out the dockerfile - I ended up switching completely to Linux, though!

Big thanks for setting this up, @easherma. I set this up and ran tests fine. Check over the info on the install file to make sure that the process is reflected accurately.

Will do! Thanks, @bonfirefan. I too have switched totally over to Linux. 😎

@bonfirefan, btw, when i started using pipenv to manage dependencies this problem completely went away, even on windows!
