uvloop==0.21.0 is not compatible to Windows

[mjoshii]

I am running the makefile to setup the connector so I can run elasticsearch locally but I get a "RuntimeError: uvloop does not support Windows at the moment".

The alternative windows solution is winloop. It's causing setup issues for me. Can someone please fix it so it works for Windows machine as well?

The makefile calls the requirements/agent.txt which points to "elastic-agent-client@git+https://github.com/elastic/python-elastic-agent-client@main".

This repo has the requirements.txt which needs "uvloop==0.21.0" (row 4).

The error I get while running the makefile locally is given below:

Collecting uvloop<1,>=0.20 (from elastic-agent-client@ git+https://github.com/elastic/python-elastic-agent-client@main->-r requirements/agent.txt (line 1))

Hi @mjoshii,

This issue seems to be related to https://github.com/elastic/connectors repository. The issue is not only in uvloop - it's possible to run connectors without it. Additionally to that, Windows does not handle signals in same way Unix does, so that would not work too. Connectors are not officially compatible with Windows and we recommend running it in any Unix system.
