Comment (by bengalih):
So excited for Deluge 2, was a bit disappointed in the Windows state of
things.
I've been reading the bug as well as some forum posts. The title of this
bug "Create Windows package (Py3-GTK3)" seems to infer that Deluge will
work successfully on Windows, but that no easy package installer exists.
However, it appears from reading here that even with doing manual install
of all the components, that Deluge will not be 100% functional on Windows.
Specifically, just from this thread I can see:
- simulate() error in Twisted - due to Python 3 compatibility.
- Plugins don't work
I believe the former doesn't effect functionality (just a cosmetic
thing?).
However the lack of plugins seems a huge issue in Windows users being able
to upgrade.
Is there a more comprehensive list (if more than the above) on why the
plugins won't work.
Or, is there a bug that discusses the status of the plugins for Windows?
I am bringing this up here because it seems to me that deluge not
providing a simple installer is a bit different than deluge not being able
to be run at full functionality *at all* on Windows systems.
I think there are many of us who would go through a manual 100 step
process to get Deluge running on Windows if we knew it would be 100%
functional.
As deluge is using multiple components and some of those components may
simply not work with the chosen version of Python, or certain dependencies
may not work properly on Windows at all, it starts to look bleak for
actual implementation on Windows.
Could we get some more info regarding the status of the actual
functionality and what limitations still need to be overcome for windows
functionality exclusive of the fact there isn't a proper installer?
I'm not much of a Python coder, but if I knew a bit more about what
integration issues we are looking at I wouldn't mind devoting some time to
researching for the greater good here.
