Describe the bugpandas_datareader throws an error because it depends on the distutils package that was removed in Python 3.12, and is otherwise deprecated.
I am happy to contribute a patch to remove pandas_datareader from the dependencies list, and update the repo to use the yfinance calls directly. I just want a go-ahead before doing the work. The repo already uses yfinance.pdr_override to patch out the function if the dependency is not there, but the file data.py still import pandas_datareader before calling that and therefore causing the crash.
To Reproduce
Have a virtual Environment with Python 3.12 or higher
import fft
Expected behavior
No errors in Python
