Windows version is now working properly. The catch is that you need to use Python 3.9 or
3.10 and use the system Python, so no Virtual Environments. Here is th installation

1- Download and install one of Python 3.9 or 3.10. Unfortunatelly Python 3.11 or 3.12 is
not currently working:

Here is some download links that are now hidden in Python's home page:
- [python-3.9.13-amd64.exe](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.13/python-3.9.13-amd64.exe)
- [python-3.10.11-amd64.exe](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.11/python-3.10.11-amd64.exe)
- Python 3.11 and 3.12 can be downloaded directly from [Python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/).

Wexpect (a Python library that DisplayCAL depends on) is not working properly with
newer Python versions like Python 3.11 and 3.12. So, stick with Python 3.9 until we
find a solution.
