MAVProxy installed by Python can't find required modules

Question

I installed droneapi in the same manner given in the tutorial. However, it's missing all of the important modules that come with MAVProxy, such as console, wx, etc.

Was it supposed to install these modules, or should I move them over from MAVProxy itself instead?

Note: Windows 8 64-bit platform

I apologize that you had to investigate the issue without guidance. Publishing our Windows installer was not well prioritized, and it looks like that choice cost you several hours.

Here is what we will soon to address DroneKit Python installation on Windows:

• A dedicated Windows installer generator lives at windows/droneapiWinBuild.bat. This generates a program Output\DroneKitsetup-1.x.x.exe which can be used to install all dependencies.

• Yesterday we began testing the installer on Windows on every commit. https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-python/pull/236

• We will now publish the binaries generated by that test and document them in the Windows installation process. https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-python/issues/164

Thanks for publishing your solution publicly. Hopefully we can address issues like these before they come up in the future.
