Hi,
Just wanted to make sure this got back to the list [1]. TLDR will scan
parent directory for existence of bin then Scripts rather than detecting
OS. Determined that a nifi.properties addition to allow this to be
configurable rather in the code is not worth the additional complexity
at this time. Thanks!

Hi,
Recently I ran into an existing issue [1] running Nifi's python
extensions on windows. It appears that windows uses Scripts instead
of bin to store the python virtual environment executable binaries
[2]. As the user mentions simply renaming the directory name to bin
does not work. It does seem to work when I introduce a config to
allow the virtual environment binary directory to be specified [3].
This allows the directory to be updated following installation which
enables the server to start and it allows me to run python processors
that do not have other cross operating system incompatibilities. This
makes windows usage with the extensions possible so at a minimum I'd
like this PR to be considered. I've also worked on projects that
build toggles between operating systems using Java System properties
similar to the util Nifi has [4]. Does Nifi have an opinion on
whether this sort of OS toggling should be automatic or just possible
by manually updating the configs. I'm happy to update my PR to add
some automatic toggling based on OS. Thanks!
