Incompatible with Python3.12 (for Linux at least)

G'day! My system updated to python3.12 and pip can't seem to get SOAPY working on this version. I just downgraded the virtual environment and it works fine in 3.11.

Output from pip

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

System Info: OS: Fedora Linux 39 Python Version: 3.12

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new virtual environment in python3.12
Run pip install soapy

Steps to bypass the problem

Install python 3.11
Create the virtual environment in python3.11 instead.

Cheers!
