CI croaks on Python 3.12.0a3

[amotl]

As we can see at ^1, running the tests on Python 3.12-dev currently croaks, while it has worked before. See also GH-57.

This may have happened due to a new alpha release of Python 3.12. And, indeed:

• 3.12.0a2 has been released 28 days ago.
• 3.12.0a3 has been released 6 days ago.

While the GHA Python versions manifest does not reveal any significant information about release dates, we discovered this patch when following https://github.com/python/cpython/compare/v3.12.0a2...v3.12.0a3, and it very much looks like this one is responsible for the observed behavior.

• https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93453
• https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/98440

It reads:

get_event_loop() will now raise a RuntimeError if no current event loop was set, instead of creating and setting a new event loop.

/cc @hramezani, @quodt

It looks like the removal of the implicit creation of an event loop by get_event_loop() will get postponed to Python 3.14, and the previous behavior will be restored with the next patch release of Python 3.12 alpha.

[amotl]

It looks like the issue has been resolved with Python 3.12 alpha 5, indicated by that GH-57 now passes successfully.
