afaik it is a pip (or venv) feature. There is no code in Moin2 to create the moin.exe file nor create the Include, Lib, and Scripts directories within moin-venv-python. I have Locust installed on Windows 10 and it has a \Scripts\locust.exe file. See moin\contrib\loadtesting\locust or install Locust per https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/index.html CLI parameters with embedded spaces must be enclosed in quotes.

I've noticed that under Windows, a moin.exe program is created under <moin2>-venv-<python>\scripts\ whereas under Linux it is a shell script with python code used to start Moin2. Where does the moin.exe come from? Is it compiled somewhere in the quickinstall process when run on Windows? I hope you don't mind my asking questions like this as I am trying to get a feel for how everything works so I can start working on fixing bugs and stuff. :-) On a side note, I first ran into issues with Windows installs when the python.exe was installed in a path that had spaces in it. I eventually got it to work, but I want to make sure I didn't break anything else.
