It looks like windows os need to have folder names wrapped with ':' in quotation marks or escape them with a '\'

  File "C:\Users\user\terravision\modules\fileparser.py", line 40, in find_tf_files
    source_location = gitlibs.clone_files(source, temp_dir.name)

  File "C:\Users\user\terravision\modules\gitlibs.py", line 169, in clone_files
    os.makedirs(module_cache_path)
  File "<frozen os>", line 225, in makedirs
NotADirectoryError: [WinError 267] The directory name is invalid: 'C:\\Users\\user\\.terravision\\module_cache\\https:__github.com_futurice_terraform-examples.git__aws_aws_static_site'

Can you try to add this line after line 139 in modules\gitlibs.py ?

reponame = sourceURL.replace(":", "_")
