Describe the bug

Carried over from: ggerganov/whisper.cpp#9 (comment)

How can I make this work? I've cloned this whisper.cpp repo and run make main and make stream. I've made a virtualenv and installed whispercpp. When I try to run the stream.py example, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "stream.py", line 44, in <module>
    default=w.api.SAMPLE_RATE,
  File "/Users/tailee/Projects/whisper.cpp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/whispercpp/utils.py", line 144, in __getattr__
    self._module = self._load()
  File "/Users/tailee/Projects/whisper.cpp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/whispercpp/utils.py", line 122, in _load
    module = importlib.import_module(self.__name__)
  File "/Users/tailee/.pyenv/versions/3.8.16/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)

Do I need to make and install some shared libraries somewhere? If so, I could not find any instructions for this in whisper.cpp or whispercpp docs and existing GitHub issues.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce (from memory):

git clone git@github.com:ggerganov/whisper.cpp.git
cd whisper.cpp
bash ./models/download-ggml-model.sh large
make main
make stream
python -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install whispercpp
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aarnphm/whispercpp/main/examples/stream/stream.py > stream.py
python stream.py

This raises an exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "stream.py", line 44, in <module>
    default=w.api.SAMPLE_RATE,
  File "/Users/tailee/Projects/whisper.cpp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/whispercpp/utils.py", line 144, in __getattr__
