Setting up a Windows Development Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Install https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-344/[Python 3.4]
* Install https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt5/PyQt-5.5.1/[PyQt 5.5]
* Create a file at `C:\Windows\system32\python3.bat` with the following content:
`@C:\Python34\python %*`
This will make the Python 3.4 interpreter available as `python3`, which is used by various development scripts.
* Install git from the https://git-scm.com/download/win[git-scm downloads page]
Try not to enable `core.autocrlf`, since that will cause `flake8` to complain a lot. Use an editor that can deal with plain line feeds instead.
* Clone your favourite qutebrowser repository.
* To install tox, open an elevated cmd, enter your working directory and run `pip install -rmisc/requirements/requirements-tox.txt`.
Note that the `flake8` tox env might not run due to encoding errors despite having LANG/LC_* set correctly.
