+1 !!!!

I added the fix manually to make it run, hope for it to be pushed someday.

Im not really good with creating pull requests, but there was another fixed required in the process_tasks.py 14: from django.db import close_old_connections

@capriele @stefanoostwegel I am maintaining an updated version of this package until this is officially updated. Was going to publish my fixes, but saw you had this open so I gave you credit too, https://pypi.org/project/django-background-tasks-updated/

Can this land? The 3.12 fix is a big improvement alone.

@aviya-bm https://pypi.org/project/django-background-tasks-updated/ Jon Miller maintains a fork, recommend switching to use that instead of this.
