container with py3.12 fails to run due to kafka-python being an old version, kafka-python-ng replaces it

Hello,

I was updating my docker images, and switched the base image python 3.12.

The build runs, but the latest available kafka-python module does not have some py3.12 compat fixes, which leads it to fail at execution with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from parsedmarc.cli import _main

Investigating a little, I found out that the current maintainer of kafka-python is not the owner, and cannot publish updates to the kafka-python namespace on pypi anymore. He created a fork named kafka-python-ng telling people to switch over.

Simply switching to the fork resolves the runtime issue, and since it's the same codebase I'd expect it to work with little issues, but I did not explicitly test it as I don't have a setup for it.

same issue on Webtop (ubuntu-kde) trying to setup Parsedmarc failed. kafka-python-ng solved it.

This appears to be fixed in 8.12.0

Fixed in 8.12.0. Closing.
