Pymakr stopped working in Atom 1.25

[smbunn]

I am using Atom on Windows and after updating to 1.25 yesterday I have lost use of the Pymakr plug in. A quick uninstall and re-install popped up an error window that said Pymakr had been compiled with an outdated version of the python libraries. What do I do now as all the talk about using "npm install" and re-compiling is all for Linux machines. I am on Windows. Help please as I miss my REPL window console!

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 54. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using npm rebuild ornpm install).

@smbunn
Can you try deleting the C:\Users\Simon.atom\packages\Pymakr\ folder and then try re-installing?

It downloaded 1.0.3 of PyMakr, reported that this was a much older version of PyMakr but said this was the only one compatible with my version of Atom (1.25.0). Then after the inistall the same error message came up as follows

Atom: 1.25.0 x64
Electron: 1.7.11
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
Thrown From: Pymakr package 1.0.3

Tried downloading 1.29 from GitHub, copied to /.atom/packages/pymakr after deleting everything in that directory. Then ran apm link and apm install. Both said 'done' but created a new shortcut in the packages directory called 'simon' (my name) and this is a link to the root of c drive. Started Atom and three errors now; one complaining about linking not liking 'Less' and then this one:

Atom: 1.25.0 x64

Thrown From: pymakr package 1.2.9

HI @smbunn, thanks for reporting, sorry for not having this issue fixed yet. We spent some time today re-compiling the serialport-lib that's in Pymakr for Atom 1.25. It hasn't succeeded yet for all operating systems. There is a new release of pymakr v1.2.10 which contains new precompiles for osx and win64, but the latter still has issues.

Bear with us on this, we'll be sure to fix it in the next days. And there's always VSCode to fall back to for a few days. I'll keep you up to date.
