Behavior

Version 2.2.0 does not install properly on windows, because building of the wheel from tarball fails as pwd is not defined on windows.

Desired behavior

I understand that it may not work properly, but packages that sort of work on Windows, such as luigi, depend on python-daemon. I want it to successfully build as a wheel, even if it is not fully supported. If a warning is generated during installation, that would be fine.

Something like this should work:

try:
    import pwd
except ImportError:
    import winpwd as pwd

I'm not sure whether this would break the build to wheel, but it is worth a try:

    raise ImportWarning('Windows is not fully supported')
