Fails to start pyro4 server it seems. Error log: contains only lines like
08-27 15:14 INFO root Pyro4 PyXRD server not (yet) running!

Ok, I could get it to run on windows, but it is a long effort.
Install pygobject using msys2 from here
https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html
then download the pyxrd package as tgz unpack and copy the mvc and pyxr from insete the dist-packages folder to C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\python3.8\site-packages or wherever you python path is in mingw64
next using pacman! install
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pip
and the same for ...-cairo ...-numpy ...-scipy ...-matplotlib -pryo4 (maybe forgot).
Then use pip3, but DO NOT UPDATE IT, EVEN IF IT COMPLAINS. IT MUST BE UPDATED BY MING.
pip3 install pyro4
pip3 install deap
You can try
python3 -m pyxrd
but likely it will complain about a missing package. Install the missing package like above and retry. You will get pyxrd to start with this, (Starting the pyro4 thakes asome time, at least a minute on my system. But you see progrss on the commandline.)

Many thanks, I’ve got so far with this but now stuck trying to get packages installed via pacman as per instruction below: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pip and the same for ...-cairo ...-numpy ...-scipy ...-matplotlib -pryo4 (maybe forgot). for example I just get: error: target not found: mingw-w64-x86_64-python-matplotlib also although I haven’t got this far yet, I’m not sure where I use the pip3 command in the next steps? Then use pip3, but DO NOT UPDATE IT, EVEN IF IT COMPLAINS. IT MUST BE UPDATED BY MING. pip3 install pyro4 pip3 install deap From: prissi <notifications@github.com> Sent: 27 August 2020 07:54 To: PyXRD/PyXRD <PyXRD@noreply.github.com> Cc: Stephen Hillier <Stephen.Hillier@hutton.ac.uk>; Author <author@noreply.github.com> Subject: Re: [PyXRD/PyXRD] Fails to run on either Windows 7 or 10, just gets stuck on the splash screen (#28) [ External email ] Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe Ok, I could get it to run on windows, but it is a long effort.
