Known Issues
The nosetests are broken in this release candidate.
Because the release on Windows is built with a pre-compiled version of pyldap, we have to specify a specific version to be used in each release. This may not always be the latest version.
On the Win64 platform, there are very long pathnames embedded in the released build artifact user-sync.pex, which will cause problems unless you are on Windows 10 and are either running Python 3.6 or have enabled long pathnames system-wide (as described in this Microsoft Dev Center article). To work around this issue on older platforms, set the PEX_ROOT environment variable (as described in the docs here) to be a very short path (e.g., set PEX_ROOT=C:\pex).
Each release on each platform is built with a specific version of Python. Typically this is the latest available (from the OS vendor, if they provide one) for that platform. In general, and especially on Windows, you should use the same Python to run User Sync as it was built with.
