Newer Python versions unavailable on Guake #2241

Guake on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Openbox (X11) Window Manager

I have noticed in the Guake preferences that even though the terminal advertises Python support through the REGEX, the truth is that Python versions with a double-digit minor revision are not included within the REGEX search. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS defaults to Python version 3.10, and later versions are bound to ship with later revisions of Python 3 still. Maybe change the REGEX but I would like to add support for these newer Python versions while retaining support for earlier versions just in case.

For Reference

The Python Software Foundation had officially released Python version 3.10 as stable in late 2021, 3.11 in late 2022, and 3.12 in late 2023. Therefore, this problem is largely affecting Linux distributions "distros" that have been released following October, 2021. Prior to October, 2021, the Regex search was acceptable, as many distributions did not package Python versions beyond 3.9 as such later versions either did not exist or were still in development.
