Hi PyFerret users,
Thanks to your advice, my friend has now had a perfectly working PyFerret installation on his Windows-10 machine.
This is just to summarise the information you provided regarding the file system:
/mnt/c/Users/<your windows username>/
on Linux (Windows Subsystem for Linux, WSL) corresponds to
C:\Users\<your windows username>\
on Windows 10. The directory is writable from within Linux.
So, I would recommend creating a symbolic link to the Windows home directory such as:
ln -s /mnt/c/users/<your windows username>/ otherhome
Regarding that, I recently heard that Microsoft announced that the File Explorer of the next version of Windows 10 will include a Linux folder. Presumably, you will be able to open your Linux home directory on the File Explorer more easily.
Until that version of Windows is released, you would go to
C:\\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_. . . .
to find your home directory from Windows, as Ansley said. (The above example assumes you chose Ubunto for WSL.)
Best regards,
Ryo

PS. In my initial message, I wrote "Windows Linux Subsystem (WLS)", but that was a mistake. I realized it's called "Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)". Sorry for the confusion.
PS2. I don't know whether cases matter for Windows: I've seen both "/mnt/c/Users/" and "/mnt/c/users/". Perhaps the Windows filesystem (is that NTFS ?) doesn't distinguish cases.
