Hi @Xavier Babu, I think this is a version mismatch. This is for Orion right? Does it work on another OS?

03/02/2022, 5:58 PMYes, it is for Orion. It works in my Linux Server. Only on Windows I get this error. How to resolve this issue?

What are the asyncio versions for each? You can check with
pip show asynciox
Xavier Babu
03/02/2022, 5:59 PM3.4.3

03/02/2022, 6:00 PMDo I need to use any older version of asyncio to make it work?

I’m not sure. We can check the requirements one sec .What is the version on the working one?

there is no explicit version in the requirements.txt, but we could add one if it makes sense

We are aware of the issue and it may take time until Windows support gets added. For now, you can use WSL or run Orion on a VM

Xavier Babu
03/02/2022, 6:16 PMYou mean Subsystem for Linux. Got it

I think end of march is when it goes off technical preview…but I don’t think that implies Windows support necessarily 😅
