exo uvloop doesn't install properly on windows for exo

the only workaround to installing exo on windows machines is to comment out the uvloop dependency on setup.py, this issue extends beyond the project honestly but just putting it out there.

Afair uvloop has no support for Windows. I personally managed to get it running on my Windows machine via WSL

wsl is the only way

I managed to get exo to boot by installing winloop and replacing the references to uvloop to winloop.

WSL works, but since it runs under a NAT it doesn't seem to detect any other devices.

Getting this error when trying to run exo after replacing uvloop with winloop: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'resource'

Seems like the latest exo doesn't support windows natively since resource is a specific built in python package only for unix based systems

The changes in this PR worked for me: https://github.com/exo-explore/exo/pull/673

Specifically:

Removing import resource and any calls to resource.XXX from main.py
Replacing uvloop with winloop
Adding async to windows_device_capabilities() definition
