OSError: [WinError 10038] in Win 10 (running the intro example)

[patzf]

On Win10 and Python 3.11 I run the following lines

import gnuplotlib as gp
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(101) - 50
gp.plot(x**2)

and get the following error

  File "C:\tools\py311\Lib\site-packages\gnuplotlib.py", line 2677, in plot
    globalplot = gnuplotlib(**jointOptions)
  File "C:\tools\py311\Lib\site-packages\gnuplotlib.py", line 1480, in __init__

Hello. This currently doesn't work on windows. There are several reports about that in the bug tracker, and an incomplete attempt to fix it here: https://github.com/dkogan/gnuplotlib/pull/15

All I need is a blocking read() with a timeout. Should be easily done on windows. Would you be interested in fixing it?
