Therefore, I let python-ase only test against the default Python
version [1], and lower the severity of this bug, until either Python
3.12 is the default, or spglib builds its extension for all supported
Python versions again.
Maybe an alternative solution would be to only disable spglib-related
test cases for Python 3.12. It seems that spglib is not an essential
dependency for python-ase, thus the remaining test cases could still be
ran to ensure package's integrity on Python 3.12.
