Description
When trying to ensure broader compatibility with different implementations of python, I think it is likely better to use FindPython which was introduced in 3.12.
That said, it isn't fully supported by scikit-build, and as such, it is likely better to contribute efforts there in order to minimize effort duplication.

Research direction
Read the scikit-build issue linked from this report, #506, first to determine the status of FindPython support. Then inspect zfp's build configuration to identify where Python discovery is handled. The work is complete when the supported approach is clear and the compatibility change can be verified in the project's build process.
