Line 33 in a5beba7

_ModuleHiderBase = getattr(importlib.abc, "MetaPathFinder", importlib.abc.Finder)

Running tests with Python 3.12 this is the result

I think that it is related to this change python/cpython/issues/98040

Thanks - yes, I think this had been deprecated before. Python 3.12 is not yet supported in pydicom/pynetdicom, but this is certainly something that can already be adapted. Are you going to make a PR for this yourself?

Closing as fixed.
