ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'

[ResRipper]

Describe the bug

Python 3.12 is currently unsupported, trying to install micropy-cli will result in an error due to missing the imp module.

Expected Behavior

Install successfully with no error.

Current Behavior

Install will produce an error that says:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'

Specifically, it is caused by the pathtools (dependency of cachier 2.0.0), which was validated by trying to install it separately:

╰─ pip install pathtools==0.1.2                                                                      ─╯

According to the Python documentation, imp was deprecated in Python 3.4, and removed in 3.12.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Python 3.12.1
2. Install micropy-cli with pip install --upgrade micropy-cli or pip install --upgrade --pre micropy-cli

[whinee]

Use python 3.11. imp is deprecated and is turned into importlib in 3.12.

[jamesbramich]

Can I just check there is still no plan to fix this?

[bebbo]

Use python 3.11. imp is deprecated and is turned into importlib in 3.12.

replace import imp with import importlib as imp
