Error: (error "autopep8 command not found.") on Windows

the answer is to fix your path, e.g. by setting exec-path inside emacs.

this issues can be closed since it's not a problem with this package, it seems.

I believe the problem is that the file is located at C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\Scripts\autopep8.exe and apparently py-autopep8 doesn't look there.

now that I added autopep8 to the path the error I get is
"Searching for program: No such file or directory, diff" ...? Apparently this is a command line tool that doesn't exist for windows.

Melpa now points to a fork of this package maintained here: https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-py-autopep8

This adds py-autopep8-command (defaulting to autopep8). You can configure this to any command though. I don't use windows but I assume setting it to the Python binary and the first argument of py-autopep8-options to autopep8.py would work as expected. If this is possible to setup automatically for windows, that would be worth looking into.
