construct==2.9.52 means max Python is v3.11

[askkemp]

Best I can tell, because construct is pinned to v2.9.52 (https://github.com/CaliDog/Axeman/commit/1abed7cf539e485795171ea48087aa3914dd4f92), it means this code is only compatible up to Python v3.11.

construct 2.9.52 is trying to import imp which is removed in Python 3.12

Here is trying to install with Python 3.12.3:

The error occurs because the construct==2.9.52 library depends on the outdated imp module, which was removed in Python 3.12.
