New issue 367: windows server 2019 installation: ImportError: No module named pwd
https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/issues/367/windows-server-2019-installation

Serhiy Pikho:

I’ve been following this installation Guide  [https://kallithea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation\_win.html](https://kallithea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_win.html)

But I seem to have hit a roadblock - Running the command `kallithea-cli config-create my.ini` creates the following errors   

```
(Env) C:\Kallithea\Bin>kallithea-cli
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "c:\kallithea\env\lib\site-packages\kallithea\lib\utils2.py", line 35, in <module>
    import pwd
ImportError: No module named pwd

```

Looking up the pwd module shows that its a unix specific module and not supported on windows. [https://docs.python.org/2/library/pwd.html](https://docs.python.org/2/library/pwd.html) 

This infomration has left me a bit confused…
