Console mode is not available on Windows

[sowdm]

I just pip installed pycsp3 to a Windows 11 machine that has Python 3.12. I ran the following from the Quick Start Guide at the command line and got the following error:

>> from pycsp3 import *
>> n = 4
>> R, G, B = colors = 0, 1, 2
>> x = VarArray(size=n, dom=colors)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\matth\.conda\envs\cp\Lib\site-packages\pycsp3\functions.py", line 191, in VarArray
    ext_name = extract_declaration_for("VarArray")
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\matth\.conda\envs\cp\Lib\site-packages\pycsp3\tools\inspector.py", line 312, in extract_declaration_for
    code = list(reversed(_extract_code(function_name)))
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\matth\.conda\envs\cp\Lib\site-packages\pycsp3\tools\inspector.py", line 105, in _extract_code
    assert False, "Console mode is not available on Windows"
           ^^^^^
AssertionError: Console mode is not available on Windows

Can I not run pycsp3 from the Console on Windows? If so, how am I supposed to run it?

Hello @sowdm,

Sorry for the delay.

You can put your code in a file and execute it:

python <model_file> -data=<data_values>

There is more information about that here: https://pycsp.org/documentation/Data
