One of the required dependencies doesn't support Windows about instawow

[layday]

Thanks for reporting. This should be fixed in 0.8.2. Let me know if you encounter any other issues with Windows - I've not had the opportunity to test instawow on platforms other than Mac.

Now it installs successfully, but I'm getting the following when I try to use instawow install:

$ instawow install curse:20338
Resolving add-ons

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\program files\python36\lib\site-packages\instawow\cli.py", line 149, in install
    raise result

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

and a similar error when I try to use instawow list preexisting:

$ instawow list preexisting

  File "C:\Program Files\Python36\Scripts\instawow-script.py", line 11, in <module>

    return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]

If you prefer to see the full traceback for the latter, let me know.

err, this looks like it might have something to do with the way click handles Unicode in the Windows terminal. I don't know how comfortable you are with Python, but would you like to try replacing all click.echos in instawow's cli.py with prints?

[layday]

I've made the change in a separate branch. If you'd like to try it out issue:

pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/layday/instawow@print-test

[Zireael-N]

Yeah, that was it, works perfectly with print. Thanks!

[layday]

Cheers. Don't forget to revert to mainline (pip3 install -U instawow) to continue receiving updates.
