Help for installing on windows

[Cooperzilla]

The output of thefuck --version (something like The Fuck 3.1 using Python 3.5.0 and Bash 4.4.12(1)-release):

Causes Error below

Your system (Debian 7, ArchLinux, Windows, etc.):

Windowns 11
And my shell is powershell

How to reproduce the bug:

pip install thefuck

and added `iex "$(thefuck --alias)"` to my powershell profile

The error msg:

+1 On this error.
Getting the same exact error output on my windows install.

(Although it seems this issue is not System-Specific I'll fill out an issue template aswell.)

Fixed this issue, caused my deprecated package "imp" in Python 12

Still getting the same issue on thefuck 3.32 and PowerShell 7.4.1.

Looking at mentioned commit, the page gives a warning

This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.

Comparing it to the current main branch, it looks like imp is still in place (red is main, green is suggested fix).

@Theblackcat98 did you suggest this change in a PR that you could reference?

Did the fix magically disappear? :)
