Import of imp breaks with Python 3.12

[cheri-burnet]

serial\utilities\_init_.py imports imp. imp is removed in Python 3.12 so the import of serial no longer works

import serial

FYI:
this error is from the serial library, not pyserial (gets me every time)

You're right, thank you! My fault, I had both libraries installed and they use the same import statement. I didn't look close enough at the file reference.
