ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp' when building

[q84fh]

When building with python 3.12.3 I've got: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'.

It turned out that the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib and slated for removal in Python 3.12

It has been fixed in recent PyInstaller, so I've just dumped it version to lates in setup.cfg and I hope that it won't break anything on older Pythons.

Full traceback (I've added set -o xtrace to print commands):
