Notebooker Windows Issues

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Love the project and concepts but having a few issues in getting this up and running on windows 11
1) In window virtual env the executable notebooker-cli is in the script folder so
https://github.com/man-group/notebooker/blob/d7549c5f1522b90aacb65310922b169e8540b7fd/notebooker/execute_notebook.py#L522
should be replaced by
os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, "Scripts", "notebooker-cli")

2) Babel needs a locale defined
https://github.com/man-group/notebooker/blob/d7549c5f1522b90aacb65310922b169e8540b7fd/notebooker/utils/results.py#L147
should be replaced by
metadata["time_diff"] = babel.dates.format_timedelta(datetime.datetime.now() - metadata["latest_run"], locale = "en")

3) open statements should include encoding="utf-8")
https://github.com/man-group/notebooker/blob/d7549c5f1522b90aacb65310922b169e8540b7fd/notebooker/execute_notebook.py#L117
https://github.com/man-group/notebooker/blob/d7549c5f1522b90aacb65310922b169e8540b7fd/notebooker/utils/conversion.py#L27
i.e. open(ipynb_path, "r", encoding="utf-8")

4) this still appears to be an issue with a blank results page output
https://github.com/man-group/notebooker/issues/77#issuecomment-1062321017

this returns an empty array
http://127.0.0.1:11828/core/get_all_available_results?limit=100&report_name=sample/plot_random
but this works... it is to do with slashes
http://127.0.0.1:11828/core/get_all_available_results?limit=100&report_name=sample\plot_random
I couldnt work out where best to fix this... any advice.

Start with notebooker/execute_notebook.py and notebooker/utils/results.py, then inspect notebooker/utils/conversion.py for the Windows virtual-environment, locale, and UTF-8 issues described. Trace the core/get_all_available_results endpoint for the slash-dependent empty response, using issue 77's discussion as context. Done means these reported Windows startup and results-page problems are resolved and the endpoint returns results for the stated report name.
