Failing to install package on python 3.12.0

[camerongraybill]

I think the issue is for using imp in setup.py which was removed in python 3.12 https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#imp

~/sift_venv$ ./bin/pip install "sift (==5.5.0)"
Collecting sift==5.5.0
  Using cached Sift-5.5.0.tar.gz (12 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
