Python 3.12, versioneer build failure #183

Description

@scop

versioneer.py attempts to use configparser.SafeConfigParser which has been deprecated for a long time, and now removed in Python 3.12, causing build to fail.

Upgrading versioneer to a newer version would seem likely to fix this: python-versioneer/python-versioneer#200

    Is this library still maintained and open for PRs?

    It appears the repository is likely not being maintained. If I am understanding correctly then the fix appears it may be as simple as changing these lines in versioneer.py:

    342 parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser() to parser = configparser.ConfigParser()

    344 parser.readfp(f) to parser.read_file(f)

    I think people would be happy to contribute to its maintenance if able.

    Hi, I haven't been able to do much with the repo.o er the last few years. I'll take a look at the pull request that updates versioneer this weekend.

    Thanks, appreciate it and your efforts to create the project. I use Datapoint every day (Home Assistant integration) so would be thrilled to keep using it if possible. I am a fair weather coder so can't say for sure but I hope the PR resolves.

    This should be fixed in version 0.9.9 - I could install it from pypi in a python 3.12 environment on my machine.

    I bumped the entire versioneer package, but ended up disabling it. The packaging logic here is really out of date now, so I'll see if I can get it into a better state if it looks like this library will be usable with the new API

    Mention the HA pull as we cant comment on it due to being locked to collaborators :-(. This should allow this to be reintegrated into HA. home-assistant/core#108163

            Yup, sadly not a lot I can do for MetOffice at the moment if the datapoint library isn't going to be compatible 😭

    And a link to HA issue home-assistant/core#109301

    and re-enabled by home-assistant/core#110206 maybe in HA 2024.2.2 Thanks @DustyArmstrong
