Building failed in Python 3.12

In a Python 3.12.0 environment, the package is not able to be built when I run pip install eofs:

The problem may be caused by the usage of a deprecated feature SafeConfigParser. It is deleted in Python 3.12 (see https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html):

configparser no longer has a SafeConfigParser class. Use the shorter ConfigParser name instead.

The build is fine in a Python 3.11.6 environment.

Environment

Device: Macbook Air, Mac 14,2 with Apple M2 chip

System: MacOS Ventura 13.6.1

Python version: 3.12.0

With the updates to include pyproject.toml it appears like eofs is in transition from versioneer (where this issue arises from) to setuptools_scm. That should fix the pip install issue with Python 3.12.

Is there a timeline for when this will be released?

Version 1.4.1 was released today, does this solve this issue?
