Windows Support

It would be nice if there was a nice way to install TUIJam on Windows. Naively I tried doing just a

pip install tuijam

But the dependent version of scrypt failed to compile. I changed to the latest version and that worked. Next, there is a problem with PyGObject which requires, from what I can tell, the GTK+ runtime to be installed for it to work properly. According to the docs installing this involves installing mingw, which I’d really like to avoid. One alternative would be to simply drop the use of PyGObject on windows since it’s just used for the external control and on windows maybe a different system that GObject is preferred anyway.

Got busy at work - will try to get a WIP PR in this weekend. There is still some testing and other work that needs to be done. Cannot get the performance ready and there is some other issues that I will investigate once I get a bit more time. Will to to get the code visible though, so that people can start discussing it.

I have had a look, and cannot seem to find the code changes I did. Some of the details are a bit fuzzy. I know that there were several layers of incompatibility. There were some calls in urwid that were not compatible. I remember something about having to switch out the urwid window that were used by tuijam.

I think what I did, and what might be a good approach, might be to run the urwid examples in windows, and see if they work / what it takes to get them working. Also, if you run into anything in particular, feel free to ask, an error message or more specific issue might jog my memory.

When I have time later, I will see if I can find the changes I did, and see if there is anything useful. Will post if I find anything
