Bug Description

Safeeyes uses the imp module, which is incompatible with python 3.12.

```
$ safeeyes
Traceback (most recent call last):

```

The bug has been fixed upstream (it is just two lines https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/pull/544), however, there has not been any release since then.

I suggest that we cherrypick the fix in Ubuntu 24.04
