Buzz + Whisper_cpp, Fast Whisper

Well today I went down a rabbit hole of trying to install a faster version of Buzz on Windows.

buzz_whisper.cpp has a github repo that looked pretty good.

https://github.com/richardburleigh/buzz_whispercpp

It only had the python files, and to get the gui, you need to install everything with Poetry.

https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer

Poetry is some python wrangler out there, so I installed it, and then it disagreed with my python version in a very obtuse sort of way:

[WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified

I got my python version figured out and ran some more poetry lines and got it mostly working.

Then it wanted more packages. I did poetry add on scipy and wurlitzer and then it wanted a non-windows compatable python library fcntl.

A little bit of digging showed that it probably isn't hard to fix, but I had already blown out of my side project time for today on this adventure. And then the github author didn't have a place for feedback (no issues page). So I'll probably need to make a PR one day if I want it up.
