WSL ↔ Windows Cross-System Bridge#

Seamless access to Windows Python, PowerShell, CMD, and filesystem from WSL2.

Requirements#

• WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04+)
• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• Windows Python (Anaconda recommended)
• PowerShell

First-Time Setup#

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skillpublish/wsl-windows-bridge/scripts/
bash setup.sh

The setup script will:

1. Auto-detect your Windows Python location (supports /mnt/d, /mnt/c, /mnt/e)
2. Copy all wrappers to ~/.openclaw/bin/
3. Generate ~/.openclaw/env.windows.sh with correct paths
4. Set permissions and run verification

Manual setup (without setup.sh):

bash

cp -r scripts/* ~/.openclaw/bin/
chmod +x ~/.openclaw/bin/win-*
# Then manually edit env.windows.sh to set correct paths

Quick Start#

Basic Usage#

⚠️ exec non-interactive shell note:

bash

# Recommended for exec environment
source ~/.bashrc && source ~/.openclaw/env.windows.sh && win-python ...

# Or directly (wrappers handle .bashrc internally)
~/.openclaw/bin/win-python ...

Common Scenarios#

Invoke Windows Python to run a script:

bash

source ~/.bashrc && source ~/.openclaw/env.windows.sh

# Single-line command
win-python -c "import xtquant; print(xtquant.__version__)"

# Run a script file
win-python "$WIN_SCRIPTS/my_task.py" --arg value

Execute PowerShell:

bash

win-ps "Get-Process python | Select-Object Name,Id | Format-Table"
win-ps "Get-Service | Where-Object {\$_.DisplayName -like '*QMT*'}"

File copy:

bash

win-copy /tmp/result.csv /mnt/d/app/output/result.csv

Path conversion:

bash

win-path /mnt/d/app
# → D:\app

win-path --to-wsl D:\app
# → /mnt/d/app

Quantitative Trading Example (QMT/xtquant)#

bash

source ~/.bashrc && source ~/.openclaw/env.windows.sh

# Get HS300 constituent stocks
win-python -c "
from xtquant import xtdata
stocks = xtdata.get_stock_list_in_sector('沪深300')
print(f'HS300: {len(stocks)} stocks')
print(stocks[:5])
"

# Download historical data
win-python -c "
from xtquant import xtdata
xtdata.download_history_data('600000.SH', start_time='20260101', end_time='20260405')
print('Download complete')
"
