Reopen Issue

On a system with python 3.12 installing the python ipaclient package (this is on Ubuntu 24.04 using the distro packages) produces the warnings:

Setting up python3-ipaclient (4.10.2-2) ...

Looking at upstream, e.g. https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/blob/master/ipaclient/remote_plugins/2_164/automember.py that file has last been updated 8 years ago and looks identical to the Ubuntu packaged version.

Thanks. I submitted https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/7297 to solve it. Let me know if this helps -- we currently don't have Python 3.12 in CI.
