Bug: Server initialization sometimes fails on macOS

[laclouis5]

Describe the bug

When restarting a server rapidly after stopping it, it usually fails with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    server = Server()
             ^^^^^^^^
    self.server = ucall.Server(**kwargs)
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RuntimeError: Server Initialization

Steps to reproduce

Setup a simple server (using Python):

from ucall.rich_posix import Server

server = Server()

@server
def test(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

def main():
    server.run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Run it (let's call the file api.py):

python api.py

In a new shell issue a request to the API:

ucall test name=Louis --uri 0.0.0.0 --port 8545

After the response control+C the server to quit it, then try to restart the server using the same command as above. This fails with the aforementioned error during around 5 to 10 seconds.

Expected behavior

Server restart should not fail.

It may be the case that the port is not being reclaimed in time. The v1 of UCall will have a drastically different design and set of capabilities. Hopefully this will be resolved along the way. Thank you for reporting, @laclouis5 🤗
