Description
Hi!
In the pip distribution (at least on windows), in flatbuffers\compat.py, it uses imp, which is removed in python 3.12, so I had to monkey patch it to use importlib instead to make the library work properly.
I couldn't find that code anywhere, so I suppose it is in some pip package source somewhere, otherwise I'd made a PR.

Research direction
Start by locating flatbuffers/compat.py in the pip package source and inspect how it checks for numpy using imp. Verify the failure on Python 3.12, then confirm the compatibility check works with the replacement approach and add or run an appropriate Python compatibility test if one is present.
