Python 3.12 compatibility

[SunnyR]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem yet.

We are currently in the process of updating our project to python 3.12, so I was curious if there was an ETA on when this package would be updated as well? I noticed there were already related commits merged into develop, however they were a few months ago now.

Describe the solution you'd like
The package is updated to support python 3.12.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None yet.

Additional context

@SunnyR I just released a new version. That said the other recent versions should probably work ok with python 3.12 too.

[SunnyR]

@LincolnPuzey Thank you for that. Although, I seem to have run into an issue while wheel building based on the stack trace below and I believe it relates to

django-dirtyfields/pyproject.toml

Line 2 in 0e70e51

requires = ["setuptools ~= 63.4"]

In python 3.12 the pkgutil class was deprecated/removed and setuptools was updated for it - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#v66-1-0.

Hmm yes I can see that old setuptools version isn't going to work.

@SunnyR are you able to install via the wheel from pypi? That works for me

python -m pip install django-dirtyfields

We prefer to build our own wheels and have a process in place to do that, hence we ran into the issue and flagged it. However, yes for now I can exclude it and use the one from pypi. 👍
