Running ucc-gen appears to require python3 binary - Windows doesn't have one about addonfactory-ucc-generator HOT 6 CLOSED

So I did a temporary workaround (not sure it's kosher). I copy/pasted the python.exe file to a new file called python3.exe. I still think it would be good to fix the source code, so it can run on a standard Windows instance (if that's supported).

Thanks for trying ucc-gen.

We were using ucc-gen on Windows a year ago and it was successfully running, but your issue makes sense.

@joepalm4 I think we can introduce a flag that will allow you to specify a name for the Python binary, by default, we can make it python3 and if you are running on Windows, you can pass python.exe there. What do you think?

Hi @artemrys. I think what would work. If it's possible to integrate into the code the detection of python versions installed so it can leverage the proper binary, I think that would be preferred, but I understand that is considerably more work. Thank you for your quick response.

I will add a note to the documentation that it is recommended to run ucc-gen in the virtual environment and then we don't have many options for the binary name, it will be python3 on Linux / macOS and python.exe on Windows.

Let me release a fix version really quick, so you can use released version instead of workarounding the issue with changing the names.

That sounds great - thank you, @artemrys!
