does not work in Windows

[sagarjs]

i ran the following code

import duckling
d = duckling.Duckling()

This code works fine in Ubuntu but does not work in Windows. In windows I get a "Python.exe has stopped working" window

Can you get any stack trace?

[sagarjs]

i'm not sure how to get a stack trace, i'm not getting an exception, the python.exe just stops responding (like out of memory error).
Can you guide me as to how to get a stack trace?

Can you try to run the Java code directly, that I described for example in #25 (comment)

I have the same problem, downloaded today via pip install duckling, on windows 10,
I did the same as sagarjs and python just crushed.

when I tried it on linux Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, everything worked great.

after some digging I found it crush in:

<module> (c:\Users\manma\Documents\Shaked\Hours\bot\bot.py:3)
__init__ (c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\duckling-1.7.3-py2.7.egg\duckling\duckling.py:44)
_start_jvm (c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\duckling-1.7.3-py2.7.egg\duckling\duckling.py:70)
startJVM (c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\jpype\_core.py:50)

specifically when it tried to run this line:
_jpype.startup(jvm, tuple(args), True)

jvm="'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll'"
args[0] = '-Xms128m'
args[1] = '-Xmx2048m'

Hi guys.
I get rid of these "Python.exe has stopped working" crashes by using older JDK version in JAVA_HOME path.
Versions 1.8 and 1.7 doesn't work. Going back to jdk1.6.0_45 solved the issue.
