Windows fails get.py to download toolchain

[hoopsurfer]

Needed to comment out "import requests" in get.py to allow it to run on Windows 10. Seems this import was added recently. Note current get.py generates the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "get.py", line 18, in
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

I had the same issue, just install the requests module "pip install requests" from the git bash.

Appears "requests" was not needed on Windows, not sure about other platforms. Either remove the import or update the Windows install instructions with:

$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip && \

pip install pyserial &&
pip install requests

ant to me it seems that Windows is a hit and miss situation. I am not a Windows user but did spend on a license and all and run clean installs on 32 and 64 bit windows 10 machines with 0 issues, but then many people complain about certificate not validated for download or some other mishap while installing...
what is the correct recipe to make it work for all?

Is "import requests" doing anything in get.py? If not then remove that line from get.py and it will fix this, otherwise tweak the Windows instructions to say: "pip install pyserial requests" and this issue is closed.

run pip install requests, it's there to handle installations where Cygwin libs are missing

also see #108

And it's all to binary for Windows now, so no more Python or pip required :)
Closing this issue!
