Tabling this one for a while, as on Windows salt installs into a python environment distributed by the salt installer. This means it is not available for import into the python environment where watchmaker is running.

That was a silly comment. Salt would be added as a python dependency to Watchmaker. The whole point of this feature would be to avoid the need to separately install Salt in the first place...

This issue is pretty old (opened and last comment/activity in 2017 – six years is a long time, yo): can it be closed/is it "OBE"?

Still valid
