  AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?

  Ever since Python 3.2, configparser.SafeConfigParser has been deprecated in
  favor of configparser.ConfigParser. An alias existed for backward compatibility
  but the alias was dropped from Python 3.12

  The project upstream seems pretty dead (last change is 4 years old)
  but if we can make the package build against Python 3.12 with a simple
  change, I think that's worth our time.
