I'm trying to run yout simple_host.py, but I got this error message below:

It's probably simply the library wurlitzer, that is being used to capture the stdout/stderr that causes issues: it's not compatible with Windows (interestingly enough the author of that library opened a PR to support windows... 9 hours ago! https://github.com/minrk/wurlitzer/pull/63).

I'm going to try remove the dependency or at least make it optional. Stay tuned!

So I removed wurlitzer (#3) but I didn't manage to get the example to run: I get a segfault somewhere. I used a random open source VST that I compiled inside a Docker (to run on Linux). I might try with different VSTs because this used to work but it's likely that there is a bug somewhere in my code.

I don't have access to a Windows machine so I'd be glad if you told me what you see on Windows!

You can close this issue. Now, lets continue in #4 , ok?
