@pirate commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2022):

Im sorry I can't provide support for CyPython/windows environments. There are too many edge cases and unsupported dependencies on windows and I don't have a windows machine myself so it's a lot of work to try to reproduce.

I'll leave the ticket open for a little bit in case anyone else has suggestions, on the meantime I recommend Docker/a Linux VM instead.
