after installing missing modules manually

getting the answer "Redirection is not supported"

user@host MINGW64 /c/temp/wpm (master)
$ pip install curses-2.2+utf8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

$ python -m wpm

Redirection is not supported.

$ wpm

Redirection is not supported.

I don't own a Windows system, so I can't look into this. But you can probably google it and find out if curses is fully supported on the windows command shell like you're using. By "fully" I mean that all the attributes and stuff are translated (in theory, I guess it should work just fine, but it may not be so in practice).

[matikepa]

heh, I will try :)

What I can add from my side that I was trying to run it in PowerShell/cmd but it is exiting with the same exit error

PS C:\temp\wpm> python -m wpm

Also was able to get the first screen by the https://conemu.github.io/ soft but after typing the first letter i got this

[cslarsen]

Yeah, the hicolor part is very unix specific, so just skip those TERM parts. As to div by zero, seems elapsed doesn't have a value. Just return any float value there while testing (or check if elapsed is zero).

Hi @cslarsen, thank you for publishing this application!
Managed to get it working on native windows, could you please review #47?
