I was able to test now, but there is a new Windows-specific bug in the gretl_export function in gretl_io.py. The line: f.write('gretl_binary_matrix') doesn't work on Windows with a binary-mode file. It needs to be either: f.write(b'gretl_binary_matrix') or: f.write('gretl_binary_matrix'.encode('utf-8')) To be honest, I'm not sure what the respective drawbacks of the two solutions are, or whether there might be a Python2 vs. Python3 issue. But I think both should work on *nix as well.
