      <string>:71: RuntimeWarning: NumPy 1.23.5 may not yet support Python 3.12.
      Running from numpy source directory.
      <string>:86: DeprecationWarning:
      
        `numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
        of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
        Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
        It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.

Expected behavior

Support for newer version that supports Python 3.12 should be available. Python3 is backward compatible, update the libraries accordingly.
