I've been getting issues attempting to install ocean framework with a regular pip install and also with poetry.

The error always results when the install reachespyjq. I get the following error with poetry:

error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

at ~\pipx\venvs\poetry\Lib\site-packages\poetry\installation\chef.py:164 in _prepare
160│
161│ error = ChefBuildError("\n\n".join(message_parts))
162│
163│ if error is not None:
→ 164│ raise error from None
165│
166│ return path
167│
168│ def _prepare_sdist(self, archive: Path, destination: Path | None = None) -> Path:

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with pyjq (2.6.0) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --no-cache-dir --use-pep517 "pyjq (==2.6.0)"'.

Does anyone have a solution? (Im using python 3.11.9)

Hello! I'm the maintainer of jq.py. I just wanted to add that the original report was about pyjq, whereas the issue you've linked to is for jq.py, which is a separate project. In case it's of any help, jq.py has tentative support for Windows: specifically, there are currently wheels in a prerelease version, and, barring finding any issues, they should be included in the next version.

Hey @theagilepilot 👋
We just replaced our jq package from pyjq to jq.py this should come with more native windows support.

Please let me know if it now works for you, closing for now feel free to re-open the issue.

Thank you @mwilliamson for jumping here 🙏
