Python version - Python 3.12.3

Python 3.12 has deprecated 'readfp'

installation fails.

AttributeError: 'ConfigParser' object has no attribute 'readfp'. Did you mean: 'read'?

  File "/home/rhubbard/Downloads/hplip-3.23.12/base/g.py", line 131, in read

### from some python updates .. readfp is deprecated. Use read_file instead: config.read_file(open(r'abc.txt')) –

Changed base/g.py line 131 : to read_file and install proceeds.
