Steps to reproduce in python3.12 environment:

$ python3 -m pip install setuptools
$ python3 setup.py develop --user
$ ./selftests/lint.sh

pylint==2.17.2 does not support python3.12 I think, and astroid is in the dep-list of pylint.

Hi @PaulYuuu, yes, you are right. I have created #5959 to update the pylint to a newer version, which should fix this issue.

Closing as fixed in #5959
