issue installing under python 3.12 #29
Description
Whilst updating workshop material, I tried installing from the main branch of the github repo and it fails under python 3.12 with the following trace.

#8 6.003 hint: See above for details.
Not sure if the new version is already using a pyproject.toml or not but the switch needs to be made to work with modern pip versions. Also it is likely the build system for pypi needs an overhaul since various deprecations have been removed in python 3.12 versions of build deps.
