Installation fails with Python >= 3.12

[samuelchodur]

Installation with $ pip install redvox is failing when Python >= 3.12 is used. Seems to be something to do with changes to importlib (Python 3.12 Release Notes). Not sure if this is a problem with redvox or a dependency.

Let me know if I can provide any other info. Haven't been able to test on an operating system other than Windows.

Operating System: Windows

Python 3.11.7

$ python --version

For anybody else having this issue and coming accross this, install python3.11 then install
the sdk using pip install "redvox[full]"
Use a tool like pyenv for it and make sure python --version says something like Python 3.11.9. It works after that
