Python 3.12 was released last October, so we should try to support it in Annif.

Currently support is not possible because of the following (to be continued...):

• gensim v4.3.2 does not provide a wheel for Python 3.12 in PyPI, and building the wheel locally fails:

  ...
  gensim/models/word2vec_inner.c:25:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
       25 | #include "Python.h"
          |          ^~~~~~~~~~
    compilation terminated.
    error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1
