I am trying to follow the example code, and am using Windows as the OS. Installing Git was easy, and I got the letsencrypt directory just fine. But the commands to run the letsencrypt-auto don’t work. Okay, so probably need Python, so I found a mention of that and downloaded and installed it, but no…

Thanks - that appears to be an IIS thing, with some custom module for making it happen. I just want to use the python scripts as-is to create some certificate files on the disk, not to integrate them or anything (our server is not common, so we just need the pem etc.)
