[Windows] Using "Process" raises "AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'getuid'"

On Windows: When trying to invoke process, pwntools crashes with the following error.

> python .\solver.py DEBUG LOG_FILE=log.txt

Could be related to #2379.

You are looking for #2310 which is only available in the beta. Try pip install --upgrade --pre pwntools to switch to the 4.13 beta. That support is very new and I'm interested if it works out for you!

Seems to work beautifully. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!
