Support for python 3.12

[richin13]

From the pkg_resources docs: setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources, importlib.metadata and their backports (importlib_resources, importlib_metadata). Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work to port to importlib-based solutions.

Python 3.12 has removed pkg_resources from the standard library: docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html and this project makes use of it in the graphene_sqlalchemy/utils.py file:

graphene-sqlalchemy/graphene_sqlalchemy/utils.py

Line 8 in eb9c663

import pkg_resources

graphene-sqlalchemy/graphene_sqlalchemy/utils.py

Lines 23 to 34 in eb9c663

	def is_sqlalchemy_version_less_than(version_string):
	"""Check the installed SQLAlchemy version"""
	return pkg_resources.get_distribution(
	"SQLAlchemy"
	).parsed_version < pkg_resources.parse_version(version_string)
	def is_graphene_version_less_than(version_string): # pragma: no cover
	"""Check the installed graphene version"""
	return pkg_resources.get_distribution(
	"graphene"
	).parsed_version < pkg_resources.parse_version(version_string)

Adding 3.12&3.13 support was still on my list for this library, thanks for the PR, will check it out this week!

@erikwrede thank you! looks like we'd need to drop support for 3.7 (which has reached EOL anyways). Could also drop 3.8 which is also EOL.

Any thoughts?

[erikwrede]

@richin13 sounds good to also drop 3.8, but I'd prefer doing that together with adding 3.13

@erikwrede good call, I've updated the PR accordingly.

As a side note, we should seriously consider upgrading dev dependencies here (adding a proper package manager, dropping SQLAchemy 1.2 and upgrading tox, to mention some)

[erikwrede]

@richin13 also on the list. Sadly my time budget for open source (and also that of the other people with access on this project) has been a little tight this year. The idea was to switch Graphene & -sqlalchemy to Poetry

@erikwrede gotchu! how's your time for PR reviews? I can help pushing the code updates if there's support/time to review the PRs
