Replace deprecated imp module with importlib #2534

Open

Description

@hugovk

This project uses the imp module which has been deprecated since Python 3.4 and removed in 3.12:

Python 3.12 is set for release on 2023-10-02 and this library is one of the top 5,000 most-downloaded from PyPI.

Please could you upgrade to use importlib? The imp docs have suggestions on what to use to replace each function and constant.

    That file is used by pypy and not by cpython. Said that it's using imp.load_source which has been removed in python3 since a few.

    Ah right, I'm not clear on the status of the imp module in PyPy, feel free to close this if you like.
